The present volume brings together studies in the syntax and semantics of adjectives. Four of the contributions investigate the syntax of adjectives in a variety of languages (English, French, Mandarin Chinese, Modern Hebrew, Russian, Spanish, and Serbocroatian). The theoretical issues explored include: the syntax of attributive and predicative adjectives, the syntax of nominalized adjectives and the identification of adjectives as a distinct lexical category in Mandarin Chinese. A further four contributions examine different aspects in the semantics of adjectives in English, French, and Spanish, dealing with superlatives, comparatives, and aspect in adjectives. This volume will be of interest to researchers and students in syntax, formal semantics, and language typology. 606 $aEnglish language$xAdjective 606 $aEnglish language$xSyntax 606 $aSemantics 615 0$aEnglish language$xAdjective. 615 0$aEnglish language$xSyntax. 615 0$aSemantics. 676 $a415/.5 686 $a17.50$2bcl 701 $aCabredo Hofherr$b Patricia$f1970-$01633710 701 $aMatushansky$b Ora$01799729 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964654203321 996 $aAdjectives$94344126 997 $aUNINA
