ABSTRACT
Bresnan, whose plunge into the area between phonology and syntax
made mine possible, François Dell, whose work in French phonology
provided the germs for mine, and Jean-Roger Vergnaud, with whom
I discussed the thesis in the most minute detail and whose re
marks have greatly enriched it. Colette Craig, Jean-François Perrot, Agnes Rouveret, Alain
Rouveret, and Jean-Roger Vergnaud were kind enough to contribute
their time and attention to my inquiries about French.
