Lexical Semantics in LFG
   Ed. Miriam Butt and Tracy Holloway King

Blurb:

This volume is a reissue of `Papers in Lexical Functional Grammar,' 
originally published in 1983 and out of print for years.

The papers herein deserve renewed access as they contain foundational 
ideas about the interaction between syntax and lexical semantics that 
remain highly relevant for current linguistic thinking. Written by
contributors whose relevance in the field has withstood the test of 
time, the topics covered include Italian unaccusatives, Malayalam 
causatives, derived nominals, resultatives, and non-nominative subjects 
in Icelandic. The papers are concerned with how and where lexical 
semantic information should be represented and its interaction with the 
syntax. All of the papers advocate a representation that allows 
operations on predicate-argument relations and grammatical relations to 
be independent of structural configurations.

Miriam Butt is professor of linguistics at the University of Konstanz.
Tracy Holloway King is a member of the research staff at the Palo Alto
Research Center.
