Description: |
This book develops a comprehensive analysis of the contribution of possessive NPs to the truth conditions of the sentences in which they occur. |
Synopsis: |
What do possessive noun phrases mean? Although possessives are one of the most commonly used construction types cross-linguistically, they have never received detailed or sustained study from a semantic point of view. Taking work of Abney, May, and Heim as a starting point, this book develops a comprehensive analysis of the contribution of possessive NPs to the truth conditions of the sentences in which they occur. |
