Abstract:

The Hungarian Nominal Functional Sequence combines the methods of syntactic
cartography with evidence from compositional semantics in a comprehensive
exploration of the structure of Noun Phrases. Proceeding from the lexical core
to the top of DP, it uses Hungarian as a window on the underlying universal
functional hierarchy of Noun Phrases, but it also regularly complements and
supports the analysis with cross-linguistic evidence. The book works out a
minimal map of the extended NP in the sense that the proposed hierarchy only
has projections which host overt material and it does not draw on semantically
empty word order projections. Topics which receive special attention include
the syntax of classifiers, demonstratives, proper names, possessive NPs and
plural pronouns.
