Relational Adjectives in Romance and English

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This pioneering work on relational adjectives challenges the traditional morphological theories on word formation. It argues that hybrid categories such as relational adjectives, which are both nouns and adjectives, can only be properly understood if they are produced as interfaces and computed simultaneously in different modules of grammar.
