Frontmatter -- Contents -- I. Introduction -- Noun phrase structure: An und für sich, in time, -- and in space -- II. On inflection -- Nominal inflection galore: Daghestanian, with side -- glances at Europe and the world -- Inflectional morphology in the Hungarian noun -- phrase: A typological assessment -- The selective elaboration of nominal or pronominal -- inflection -- Types of typology, illustrated from gender -- systems -- III. On (over-)determination -- Double articulation -- Non-compositional definiteness marking in Hungarian -- noun phrases -- English goes Asian: Number and (in)definiteness in -- the Singlish noun phrase -- A woman of sin, a man of duty, and a hell of a -- mess: Non-determiner genitives in Swedish -- IV. On amplification -- The interaction between numerals and nouns -- Possessive noun phrases in the languages of -- Europe -- Action nominal constructions in the languages of -- Europe -- Noun phrase conjunction: The coordinative and the -- comitative strategy -- Backmatter
Summary: The result of over five years of close collaboration among an international group of leading typologists within the EUROTYP program, this volume is about the morphology and syntax of the noun phrase. Particular attention is being paid to nominal inflectional categories and inflectional systems and to the syntax of determination, modification, and conjunction. Its areal focus, like that of other EUROTYP volumes, is on the languages of Europe; but in order to appreciate what is peculiarly European about their noun phrases, a more comprehensive and genuinely typological view is being taken at the full range of cross-linguistic variation within this structural domain. There has been no shortage lately of contributions to the theory of noun phrase structure; the present volume is, however, unique in the extent to which its theorizing is empirically grounded.
