Abstract:

Despite a significant increase in interest over the last two decades in the
English Noun Phrase, there are still many open questions and unexplored
issues. The papers collected in this volume contribute to this ongoing
research by addressing a range of topics concerning the internal structure,
use and development of English Noun Phrases. The eleven chapters represent
three main themes: 1. Determination, modification and complementation; 2.
Shell nouns and the X-is construction; 3. Binominal constructions. These
topics are approached in different ways: some chapters are synchronic in
nature, others diachronic; and while most subscribe to functional-cognitive
modelling, some take a more formal approach. In addition, different
methodologies are employed, varying from qualitative and quantitative corpus
analyses to experimental methods. As a result, the contributions to this
volume represent both the main topics currently discussed in research on the
English Noun Phrase, and the diversity in the way these topics are
investigated.
