The purpose of the book is twofold. First it tries to give a descriptive account
of subjects in English. The second aim is to elucidate the status of the subject
both as a concept in grammatical theory and with regard to the question
whether the subject is determined by item-specific arbitrary formal restrie-
tions in the same way as postverbal complements of the verb have been
shown to be.
The series publishes state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across
theoretical frameworks as well as studies that provide new insights by
building bridges to neighbouring fields such as neuroscience and cognitive
science. The series considers itself a forum for cutting-edge research
based on solid empirical data on language in its various manifestations, includ-
ing sign languages. It regards linguistic variation in its synchronic and
diachronic dimensions as well as in its social contexts as important sources
of insight for a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems
and the ecology and evolution of language.
