                        Comentario:
    The aim of the book is to give an account of the
English verbal lexicon, which not only systematizes the
meanings of lexemes within a hierarchical framework, but
also demonstrates the principled connections between
meaning, and the syntactic complementation patterns of
verbs on the one hand and patterns of conceptualization in
the human mind on the other. This endeavor is entirely
compatible with the tendency towards lexically-based
approaches in modern grammatical theory.

    The authors offer a detailed description of the two
theoretical models used, Simon Dik's Functional Grammar,
and Martin Mingorance's Functional-Lexematic Model. They
argue that a paradigmatic organization of the lexicon into
domains and subdomains is the basis for predicting the
syntagmatic behavior of lexemes, insofar as this is
represented in syntactic complementation patterns.
Throughout the book, methods are explained and arguments
made, through the analysis of a wide range of semantic
domains and their attendant syntax. An important claim is
that the greater the semantic scope of a lexeme, the
greater is its variation in syntactic behavior.

    A key concept in the description of the relationship
between lexical structure and cognition is that of the
predicate schema, which integrates paradigmatic and
syntagmatic information about an individual lexeme, a
lexical subdomain, or a whole domain. Predicate schemas
represent the links between the lexical macrostructure and
individual lexemes.  This book presents a
thought-provoking, challenging, and at times controversial
account of lexical patterning and its relationship with
meaning, syntax, and cognition.
