Author: Josep Ausensi
Abstract:

Much recent influential work within Generative grammar argues that
syntax plays a key role in grammar and meaning composition, whereas
the role of the lexicon is minimal. This book provides evidence that
supports a more balanced division of labor between syntax and the
lexicon in the creation of meaning. The author argues that grammatical
theory can only ignore lexical meaning at its own peril and defends a
theoretical standpoint which is underrepresented in much of the
current work in this area . This book explores a wide range of
relevant empirical data and makes a compelling case for a theory that
can make adequate predictions about possible linguistic structures by
allowing the lexicon and the grammar to dynamically interact and
impose restrictions on each other.

Linguistic Field(s): Semantics
