He focuses on three problems in syntactic theory that are connected to "extraction" -- the occurrence of an element in a distinguished position distinct from its unmarked locus in simple clauses. He exami ..." |

Hardcover, 488 Pages, Published 2010 by The Mit Press ISBN-13: 978-0-262-01481-6, ISBN: 0-262-01481-5 "In Edge-Based Clausal Syntax, Paul Postal rejects the notion that an English phrase of the form [V + DP] invariably involves a grammatical relation properly characterized as a direct object. He argues instead that at least three distinct relations occur in such a structure. The different syntactic properties of these three kinds of objects are shown by how they behave in pa ..." |
 | | Masked Inversion in French(1st Edition) by Paul Martin Postal Hardcover, 166 Pages, Published 1989 by University Of Chicago Press ISBN-13: 978-0-226-67569-5, ISBN: 0-226-67569-6 "In this important work of linguistic analysis, Paul M. Postal addresses a paradigm anomaly in French that has hitherto resisted explanation. A general restriction limiting the form of direct objects in complex infinitival constructions with main verbs like faire fails to hold with certain subordinate verbs, especially connaître. Marshaling extensive evidence, Postal argues that this apparent irregularity is a symptom of a deeper regular ..." |

To refer to a single addressee, a speaker uses second person pronouns ( you, yours, yourself). But sometimes third person nonpronominal DPs are used to refer to the speaker--for example, this reporter, yours truly--or to ..." |

Following Rosenbaum's work, it has also been widely accepted that this rule functions in a specified class of cases to derive main clause objects. However, in recent work, Chomsky has rejected the view that ..." |
 | | An Integrated Theory of Linguistic Descriptions(Updated) by Jerrold J. Katz, Paul Martin Postal, Jj Katz Paperback, 190 Pages, Published 1978 by The Mit Press ISBN-13: 978-0-262-61021-6, ISBN: 0-262-61021-3 "The authors offer a theory concerning the nature of a linguistic description, that is, a theoretical statement about the kind of description that a linguist is able to give of a natural language. This theory seeks to integrate the generative conception of phonology and syntax developed by Chomsky and Halle, with the conception of semantics proposed by Katz and Fodor. The authors demonstrate that the integration within one theory of thes ..." |

In relational theory, grammatical relations such as subject, direct object, and predicate are taken to be theoretical primitives which permit the definition of formal objects called Arcs, the fundamental building blocks of syntac ..." |

This framework is known for its straightforwardness, for its ability to account for exotic data, and for having sparked a wide-ranging, innovative program of research on syntactic universals and typology.
