Maha is not in a position to be choosy about the work she takes, so when offered a job as a Chief Administrator at an office in a seedy business park she jumps at the chance. However, all is not as it seems. Not only is she the only employee but her boss has disappeared on a business trip leaving her with full responsibility for everything. hen locking up at night, Maha hears noices coming from the locked and supposedly empty neighbouring psychiatrist's office. A chilling mystery unravels as Maha investigates the 'empty' office and uncovers the horrifying nature of her boss's true business.
In this book, leading linguists explore the empirical scope of syntactic theory, by concentrating on a set of phenomena for which both syntactic and nonsyntactic analyses initially appear plausible. Exploring the nature of such phenomena permits a deeper understanding of the nature of syntax and of neighbouring modules and their interaction. The book contributes to both traditional work in generative syntax and to the recent emphasis placed on questions related to the interfaces.
