Phrase structure and argument structure : a case study of the syntax-semantics interface
Lohndal, TerjeAuthor
This title looks at the relationship between syntax and semantics, bringing together two seemingly unrelated hypotheses: that verbs do not require arguments, and that specifiers are not required by the grammar. The analysis has consequences for the theory of locality, agreement, serial verbs, and multidominance structures.
