Beschreibung
This volume focuses on recursion and reveals a host of new theoretical arguments, philosophical perspectives, formal representations, and empirical evidence from parsing, acquisition, and computer models, highlighting its central role in modern science. Noam Chomsky, whose work introduced recursion to linguistics and cognitive science, and other leading researchers in the fields of philosophy, semantics, computer science, and psycholinguistics in showing the profound reach of this concept into modern science.
Recursion has been at the heart of generative grammar from the outset. Recent work in minimalism has put it at center-stage with a wide range of consequences across the intellectual landscape. The contributors to this volume both advance the field and provide a cross-sectional view of the place that recursion takes in modern science.

From the book reviews:
“The papers in this well-edited and well-written book are the results of a 2009 conference at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. … I highly recommend this well-edited collection to researchers and students interested in this topic.” (Burkhard Englert, Computing Reviews, January, 2015)
