Gennaro Chierchia

Topics in the Syntax and Semantics of Infinitives and Gerunds (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This title, first published in 1988, is an inquiry into the nature of predication in natural language. The study is based on the hypothesis that infinitives and gerunds are not clausal or propositional constructions and attempts to provide support for such a hypothesis, whilst also drawing from analysis of various anaphoric phenomena. This title will be of interest to students of language and linguistics.
