Editorial Reviews
Review
... a welcome addition to the rapidly growing literature on Balkan syntax and on comparative syntax more generally. The articles are almost uniformly excellent, and the book is carefully edited. This is a worthy addition to Oxford's series of Studies in comparative syntax and is definitely recommended reading for anyone interested in syntactic typology. Language ... not a survey of Balkan syntax but a fascinating snapshot of several important issues, especially the properties of the infinitive-replacing 'subjunctive' construction and the proper treatment of various types of functional heads within the minimalist framework.

"As a whole, the volume is a welcome addition to the rapidly growing literature on Balkan syntax and on comparative syntax more generally. The articles are almost uniformly excellent, and the book is carefully edited. This is a worthy addition to Oxford's series of Studies in comparative syntax and is definitely recommended reading for anyone interested in syntactic typology."--language
