Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- Semi-lexical categories -- Part I. Semi-lexicality and Syntactic Projection -- The flat structure economy of semi-lexical heads -- Heads and selection -- Children's semi-lexical heads -- Semantically empty lexical heads as last resorts -- Part II. Semi-lexicality in the Nominal Domain -- Numeral/Quantifier-Classifier as a complex head -- Classifiers and semi-lexicality: Functional and semantic selection -- Agreement patterns of Czech group nouns and quantifiers -- Part III. Semi-lexicality in the Verbal Domain -- On the (semi)lexical status of light verbs -- “Semi-lexical” motion verbs in Romance and Germanic -- Underspecification in serial verb constructions -- Part IV. Semi-lexicality of Adpositional and Adposition-like Elements -- Semi-lexical heads in a semantically charged syntax -- As for as / for, they are semi-lexical heads -- Lexical particles, semi-lexical postpositions -- Index
Summary: The distinction between functional categories and lexical categories is at the heart of present-day grammatical theory, in theories on language acquisition, code-switching and aphasia. 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".
