The Even Yearbook 10 (2012) is the 10th in the series of biennial volumes that we have published in every even-numbered year since 1994, and the 4th that we have published electronically. It contains papers by doctoral students and staff at the Department of English Linguistics of Eötvös Loránd University.
All papers in the present volume are devoted to syntax: Gizella Baloghné Nagy (PhD student) writes on degrees of topicality, Júlia Bácskai-Atkári (PhD student) examines attributive comparative deletion, Tamás Csontos (PhD student) discusses nominal and pronominal arguments in German, Katalin Horváth (PhD student) deals with the split-DP in Hungarian, and Mark Newson & Krisztina Szécsényi (associate professors) offer their view on dummy auxiliaries and late vocabulary insertion. While Bácskai-Atkári works in a minimalist framework, Baloghné Nagy, Csontos, Horváth, and Newson & Szécsényi continue to explore the possibilities of an “unorthodox” analytical approach, advocated by Mark Newson, called Alignment Syntax.
Our thanks are due to Marianna Hordós, András Komlósy, Lajos Marosán and László Varga, for reading and refereeing the papers, and to Péter Szigetvári, for doing the technical editing and putting the volume on the net.
