ENDORSEMENTS “In this highly original monograph, David Adger reanalyzes the core of human language, hierarchical structure: Subjoin is the organizing principle that builds mereological objects in a part-whole hierarchy. Adger applies his innovative approach to many classical domains of generative syntax, approaches old facts in new light, and explores novel data. Mereological Syntax will undoubtedly make a significant contribution to the field.” —Kleanthes K. Grohmann, Professor of Biolinguistics and Director of the CAT Lab, University of Cyprus ""This combination of a very innovative and original (but also very simple) theoretical proposal with potentially overarching empirical consequences, and very sophisticated and precise explorations into the intricacies of very rich empirical domains on a vast number of languages, makes this book very readable and very entertaining.” —Caterina Donati, Laboratoire de Linguistique Formelle; Professor, Paris Cité University; Director, UFR Linguistique
