Sommario/riassunto

The present monograph deals with lexical representation and linking within the framework of Functional Grammar. The notion of predicate



frame as originally proposed in 1978 and subsequent refinements of the theory are challenged in that a new format of representing argument taking properties is formulated. This new format opens new lines of research towards the design of a new linking algorithm in Functional Grammar.

Sommario/riassunto

Most books on colloid science are either quite theoretical, or focused on a specific types of dispersion, or on specific applications. The second, revised and enlarged edition of this monograph provides an integrated introduction to the classification, formation and occurrence, stability, and uses of the most common types of colloidal dispersion in the process-related industries.Although the initial emphasis covers basic concepts essential for understanding colloidal dispersions, this is done in the context of emulsions, foams, suspensions, and aerosols, and is aimed at providing the necessary
