The book investigates multiple aspects of the patterning of Determiner Phrases (DP) in Bangla and develops a set of proposals to model the underlying syntactic structure of such elements. A broad aspect of this book is to re-assert the existing argument in the DP literature that DPs appear to share a parallel structure to the clauses. The book in particular shows that the Bangla DP-internal phrasal movements are instances of discourse driven phenomena. This further leads to project a fine structure of nominal left-periphery in the Bangla DP, that has been argued in the background of the cross-linguistic evidence drawn from Gungbe, Greek, Albanian, and Russian languages. The central theoretical discussion of the book primarily revolves around the key conceptual domains of adjective movement, ellipsis, definiteness, and wh-movement in the Bangla DP.

Ambalika Guha is Assistant Professor in the Department of English Language and Literature, and Coordinator of the Centre for Study of Contemporary Theory and Research, Adamas University., Kolkata, India. She has received her Ph.D. in Linguistics from The English and Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad, India. As a syntactician, her primary interest lies in studying the uniformity between nominal and clausal left periphery. Particularly, she investigates the discourse notion which plays a direct role in syntactic derivation. Recently, she has also been intrigued by the semantics of polar questions and alternative questions, showing how a language speaker uses a question particle as a disjunction marker.
