"The volume is an impressive collection of case studies documenting the pervasive role of 'smuggling.' From its original application to passive, smuggling is convincingly shown here to play a crucial role in such diverse domains as causatives, tough-movement, dative alternations, the can't seem construction and still others. A striking step forward in our comprehension of syntactic derivations." -- Guglielmo Cinque, Ca' Foscari University, Venice

"An idea of growing importance to syntactic theory, smuggling has yielded an explosion of exciting research. Collected here is some of the best." -- William Snyder, University of Connecticut
