The cross-linguistic investigation reveals that seemingly diverse constructions can be categorized into two classes depending on whether they measure nominal or verbal predicates, and shows that the classification accounts for why certain constructions have certain characteristics concerning distributivity and single-event predicates. Throughout the book, particular emphasis is placed on issues of compositionality. 410 0$aInterface explorations ;$v12. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSyntax 606 $aSemantics 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xQuantifiers 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xComparative clauses 606 $aCompositionality (Linguistics) 610 $aSyntax. 610 $agenerative semantics. 610 $agenerative syntax. 610 $asemantics. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSyntax. 615 0$aSemantics. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xQuantifiers. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xComparative clauses. 615 0$aCompositionality (Linguistics) 676 $a415 700 $aNakanishi$b Kimiko$f1975-$01646176 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820626503321 996 $aFormal properties of measurement constructions$93993037 997 $aUNINA
