Abstract:

The fourth volume in the VARGReB series presents an in-depth investigation of
Lithuanian copular constructions from the viewpoint of Cognitive Grammar.
Apart from the fundamental problems of the ontology and taxonomy of copular
sentences, the author also discusses a number of more specific questions on
which the Lithuanian data, contrasted with those of English and other
languages hitherto dealt with in the literature, can shed an interesting
light, such as the nature and distinctive features of specificationals, the
problem of subjecthood in this subtype of copular constructions, the aspectual
semantics of copular sentences, etc. The attention given to the grammatical
context of copular constructions and the multifarious relationships linking
them to other construction types enhances the book’s relevance to the field of
Lithuanian studies, whereas the dialogue and confrontation between the
Cognitive perspective adopted by the author and the more formal approaches
hitherto applied to the problem of copular sentences will add to its interest
for the general reader.
