Abstract:

This volume presents a crosslinguistic survey of the current theoretical
debates around copular constructions from a generative perspective. Following
an introduction to the main questions surrounding the analysis and
categorization of copulas, the chapters address a range of key topics
including the existence of more than one copular form in certain languages,
the factors determining the presence or absence of a copula, and the
morphology of copular forms. The team of expert contributors present new
theoretical proposals regarding the formal mechanisms behind the behaviour and
patterns observed in copulas in a wide range of typologically diverse
languages, including Czech, French, Korean, and languages from the Dene and
Bantu families. Their findings have implications beyond the study of copulas
and shed more light on issues such as agreement relations, the nature of
grammatical categories, and nominal predicates in syntax and semantics.
