Many problematic cases are also discussed, and it seems that a complete theory of complement inheritance is still needed. For fixed idioms the answer is, naturally, the former. However, the paper shows that this is the better treatment of complex idioms, too, including support verb constructions. A brief review of a possible HPSG approach to idioms is presented, with minor deviations from the standard theory. Finally, the authors discuss the argument structure and the semantics of support verbs.
Some general comments have to be made regarding the book as a whole.
As this is a collection of works, it lacks uniformity in many aspects. Feature structures are graphically depicted differently among the papers. This would have also eliminated the embarrassing mistakes in the references to PS2, which appears in three or four different variants throughout the book. This could eliminate the need to rephrase such assumptions in many of the papers. It would be very interesting to see if all the solutions that are presented in this volume could be unified into one coherent grammar, that would lead to a wide-coverage grammar for the German language.
