Grohmann's bold Anti-Locality Hypothesis, defined and richly illustrated in this book, has all the ingredients to become a major focus of theoretical debate in years to come.

Generative Grammarians have established the centrality of locality conditions in grammars. Expressions must be "close" to interact. Grohmann's work proposes (and subtly defends) a curious counterpart to this sort of restriction: close but not too close! This is a very interesting theoretical conjecture, one that fits snugly with leading minimalist intuitions and leads to many interesting empirical consequences. This is highly original and provocative work that is sure to have an impact on how linguists conceive of locality within UG.
