Abstract:

This is the first of a two-volume selection of refereed and revised
papers, originally presented at the international conference From NP
to DP at the University of Antwerp. The papers address issues in the
syntax and semantics of the noun phrase, in particular the so-called
DP-hypothesis which takes noun phrases to be headed by a functional
head D(eterminer). The major concerns can be grouped around 3
subthemes: the internal syntax of noun phrases, the syntax and
semantics of bare nouns and indefinites and the expression of
measurement in noun phrases. The wealth of data coming from over 40
different languages combined with a thorough introduction to the
current issues in the field of NPs/DPs and some alternative syntactic
and semantic analyses, provide a comprehensive reference work from
both a descriptive and a theoretical point of view. The second volume
is concerned exclusively with the expression of possession in noun
phrases.
