Review # 1 was written on 2007-11-06 00:00:00 Duncan Fleming In general, a very interesting proposal with far reaching possibilities for the study of morphosyntax. On paper however, the proposals are very abstract and not as properly fleshed out as I'd have liked them to be in the more specific puzzles concerning lexicality in syntax. The semantics and interplay of gender with structural phenomena is one such case where Borer's proposal underwhelmed me, and whilst within the scope of quantification of DPs this is a fertile framework, it is too rigid and opaque within this volume at least to properly expand in the same way that say, Distributed Morphology has.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-05-15 00:00:00 Robin Mathews Read: 29 May-. Supposedly still reading this but I think I've given up on it. While they are challenging the received norm in philosophy of language they are doing so on a very fine point. I agree that theirs is a valid critique but I also feel that it is spurious and does not begin to go far enough; that is, to question the whole of the received norm of philosophy of language.
