Syntactic cartography emerged in the 1990s as a research direction in Syntax. Its main aim is to draw maps of the structures of syntactic constituents, characterize their functional structure and study the array and hierarchy of syntactically-relevant features. Cartography is guided by the assumption that syntactic structure is uniform across languages. When variation is encountered, it is attributed to language-specific phonological and morphological properties and the impact these may have on syntactic movement.

Abstract

Syntactic cartography emerged in the 1990s as a research direction in Syntax. Its main aim is to draw maps of the structures of syntactic constituents, characterize their functional structure and study the array and hierarchy of syntactically-relevant features. Cartography is guided by the assumption that syntactic structure is uniform across languages. When variation is encountered, it is attributed to language-specific phonological and morphological properties and the impact these may have on syntactic movement.
