ISBN: 0195115279 ISBN-13: 9780195115277 Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA OUR PRICE: $198.00 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: March 1999 Annotation: One of the world's leading syntacticians presents evidence for locating Adverb Phrases in the specifiers of distinct functional projections within a novel and well articulated theory of the clause. In this theory, both adverbs and heads, which encode the functional notions of the clause, are ordered in a rigid sequence. Cinques cutting-edge proposal suggests that the structure of natural language sentences is much richer than previously assumed. |
