Abstract:

The binomial noun phrase, or of-binomial, is an important phenomenon
in the English language. Defined as a noun phrase that contains two
related nouns, linked by the preposition of, examples include a hell
of a day and a beast of a storm. This pioneering book provides the
first extensive study of the evaluative binominal noun phrases (EBNP)
in English, exploring the syntactic rules that govern them, and the
(functional) semantic and pragmatic links between the two nouns.
Combining quantitative and qualitative methods, corpus data, and two
different theoretical approaches (Construction Grammar and Functional
Discourse Grammar), it argues that the EBNP now functions as a stage
in a grammaticalization path that begins with a prototypical N+PP
construction, continues with the head-classifier, and ends with two new
of-binominal constructions: the evaluative modifier and binominal
intensifier. Comprehensive in its scope, it is essential reading for
researchers in syntax, semantics, and English corpus linguistics.
