The macroparameter in a microparametric world

Mark C. Baker

Published online: 17 September 2008

https://doi.org/10.1075/la.132.16bak

This paper considers the role of macroparameters in parametric theory. It

is argued that a system in which all syntactic variation is ascribed solely to

microparametric differences in the make-up of functional heads, as assumed

under the so-called Borer-Chomsky Conjecture, cannot account for actually

attested patterns of variation. In the word-order domain, for example, the facts

seem to point to the kind of bimodal distribution expected on a macroparametric

view, with microparameters accounting for the observed “noise”. A similar

scenario is also argued to obtain in the domain of agreement, once two new

macroparameters, presented here, are taken into account.
