Abstract: The study of nominals, linguistic expressions whose core constituent is characteristically a noun, is of great interest to both theoretical and computational linguists. The author provides a detailed description and formal analysis of a wide range of intricate linguistic phenomena concerning nominal constructions in Modern Greek, while exploring their implications for the architecture of grammar. Most existing treatments of Modern Greek nominals are concerned with purely syntactic analysis but do not address a variety of intriguing problems that involve the interrelation of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. This monograph seeks to close this gap by integrating semantic and contextual information in the grammar, providing a formalization within the multi-dimensional framework of Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar To order this book, contact The University of Chicago Press.
