Description for Nominals
Paperback. Editor(s): King, Tracy Holloway. Series: Studies in Constraint-based Lexicalism. Num Pages: 280 pages, index. BIC Classification: CFK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 229 x 159 x 18. Weight in Grams: 408.
Since the early 1970s, the proper treatment and nominals and nominalization has been fundamental to syntactic theory. And yet a satisfactory approach continues to prove elusive. Working within the framework of Lexical-Functional Grammar, this book discusses the precise reasons why pronouns show particular distributions, why nominalized verbs inherit the predicational power of the verbs they're derived from, and what kind of syntactic category derived nominals should be assigned. Recent developments in LFG make it possible to examine discourse clitics and case markers as well, meaning this collection can address both "classic" nominal issues and novel new perspectives.
