The Syntax and Semantics of the Nominal Construction—A Radically Minimalist Perspective

Krivochen (U. of Potsdam, Germany) presents a newly developed theoretical framework, radical minimalism, that is inscribed within the "linguistics as science" tradition inaugurated by the Port Royal grammar and continued through structuralism to the present-day biolinguistic enterprise. Then he narrows his focus to analyze the consequences of adopting this framework on the study of the nominal construction, in both theoretical and empirical dimensions. He does not provide an index.
