There are two questions that this book addresses. Can one find a small, finite set of meanings which systematically underlies the enormous variety of meanings found in complements? And can one make any predictions from this set of meanings about the variety of forms they take? The answer to both questions is yes. The author convincingly shows how a multiplicity of sentence meanings and forms can be accounted for by breaking down sentence meaning into a small set of modules 410 0$aTypological studies in language ;$vv. 10. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xComplement 606 $aModality (Linguistics) 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xVerb phrase 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xComplement. 615 0$aModality (Linguistics) 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xVerb phrase. 676 $a415 700 $aRansom$b Evelyn N$01653099 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811906103321 996 $aComplementation$94004199 997 $aUNINA
