Categorization therefore poses fundamental questions about grammatical structures and about the lexicon from which they are built. Adopting a 'lexicalist' stance, the authors argue that lexical items are not epiphenomena, but really represent the mapping of sound to meaning (and vice versa) that classical conceptions imply. Their rule-governed combination creates words, phrases and sentences - structured by the 'categories' that are the object of the present inquiry. They argue that the distinction between functional and non-functional categories, between content words and inflections, is not as deeply rooted in grammar as is often thought. In their argumentation they lay the emphasis on empirical evidence, drawn mainly from dialectal variation in the Romance languages, as well as from Albanian. 410 0$aCambridge studies in linguistics ;$v128. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xGrammatical categories 606 $aLanguage and languages$xVariation 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xGrammatical categories. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xVariation. 676 $a415 686 $aLAN000000$2bisacsh 700 $aManzini$b Maria Rita$0518320 702 $aSavoia$b Leonardo Maria$f1948- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910141001003321 996 $aGrammatical categories$9827994 997 $aUNINA
