Book Synopsis The Raising of Predicates by : Andrea Moro

Download or read book The Raising of Predicates written by Andrea Moro and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-01-09 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the basic premises of the theory of syntax is that clause structures can be minimally identified as containing a verb phrase, playing the role of predicate, and a noun phrase, playing the role of subject. In this study Andrea Moro identifies a new category of copular sentences, namely inverse copular sentences, where the predicative noun phrase occupies the position which is canonically reserved for subjects. In the process, he sheds new light on such classical issues as the distribution and nature of expletives, locality theory and cliticization phenomena.
