Abstract:

This book takes Korean as a basis to provide a detailed universal Determiner
Phrase (DP) structure. Adnominal adjectival expressions are apparently
optional noun dependents but their syntax and semantics have been shown to
provide an important window on the internal structure of DP. By carefully
examining data from Korean, an understudied language, as well as from other
unrelated languages, the book provides a broad perspective on the phenomenon
of noun modification and its cross-linguistic variations. Furthermore, it
offers not only a thorough syntactic analysis but also a formal semantic
analysis of noun modifiers that extends beyond a single language. This book
will be of great interest to researchers interested in theoretical syntax, its
interfaces with semantics, pragmatics, linguistic typology, and language
variation. ​
