Summary:
This volume is a reissue of Papers in Lexical Functional Grammar, originally published in 1983 and out of print for years.
The papers herein deserve renewed access as they contain foundational ideas about the interaction between syntax and lexical semantics that remain highly relevant for current linguistic thinking. Written by contributors whose relevance in the field has withstood the test of time, the topics covered include Italian unaccusatives, Malayalam causatives, derived nominals, resultatives, and non-nominative subjects in Icelandic. The papers are concerned with how and where lexical semantic information should be represented and its interaction with the syntax. All of the papers advocate a representation that allows operations on predicate-argument relations and grammatical relations to be independent of structural configurations.
Subject (DDC): 400 Philology, Linguistics
Bibliography of Konstanz: Yes
