These monographs present new and original research beyond the scope of the article. We hope they will benefit our field by bringing to it perspectives that will stimulate further research and insight. Originally published in limited edition, the Linguistic Inquiry Monographs are now more widely available. This change is due to the great interest engen- dered by the series and by the needs of a growing readership. The editors thank the readers for their support and welcome suggestions about future directions for the series. Samuel Jay Keyser for the Editorial Board
