Category Neutrality

A Type-Logical Investigation

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

It has been claimed that 'category neutrality' where a word or a phrase is used simultaneously with more than one syntactic category, does not exist. This work shows that it does exist in English. This work not only challenges the current thinking, but also raises foundational questions about the nature of ambiguity.
