This book provides a detailed study and a novel Minimalist account of copular sentences in Russian. Coverage focuses on nominative-instrumental case alternations, reconsiders subtle semantic distinctions between copular types, and provides an overview of previous literature about copular sentences in Russian. It reveals that Russian draws a distinction between saturated DPs and unsaturated NPs, in spite of its renowned lack of overt articles.
