At the same time, it has become clear, however, that there are many lexical items for which it is less easy to decide whether they side with the lexical categories or the functional ones. This book deals with the grammatical behavior of such in- between-categories, which are referred to here as "semi-lexical categories" UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110874006 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110874006 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110874006/original ER -
