%% ABSTRACT AND KEYWORDS
\ELRAbstract{%
This paper introduces the foundational scope of \textit{Explorations in Linguistic Review}, focusing on contemporary debates within theoretical syntax, interface mechanics, and comparative grammar. We evaluate the dynamic interactions between structural representations and interpretive components, outlining key analytical challenges for generative models. By establishing a platform for open-access inquiry, this article summarizes core structural paradigms and sets forth open empirical problems for future linguistic research.
