| Publisher Description: This book investigates the linguistic status of predication, especially within the generative paradigm. The topics discussed include minimalist accounts of predication, types of predication, copular constructions, topic and focus, theticity and transitivity.

This book contributes to contemporary debates on understanding predication in linguistics and in the philosophy of language. |
