Adjectival Modification and Order Restrictions

The Influence of Temporariness on Prenominal Word Order

About this book

"Adjectival modification and order restrictions" beschäftigt sich mit dem Einfluss der Stadien-/Individuen-Level-Distinktion (SL/IL) auf Abfolgebeschränkungen pränominaler Adjektive. Die oft postulierte Beschränkung, dass SL-Adjektive nomenferner realisiert werden als IL-Adjektive, wird zurückgewiesen und als Epiphänomen generellerer Faktoren beschrieben. Das Buch widmet sich Adjektivklassifikationen und Modifikationsmustern sowie der SL-/IL-Debatte i.A., den Grundlagen adjektivischer Abfolgebeschränkungen i.B. und überprüft die formaltheoretischen Hypothesen anhand einer breiten Korpusstudie sowie zweier Fragebogenstudien. Es veranschaulicht, dass die Flüchtigkeit adjektivischer Konzepte als maßgebender Faktor für Folgebeschränkungen empirisch nicht haltbar ist. Die präferierte pränominale Position von SL-Adjektiven wird als Folge ihrer Natur als absolut-graduierbare Adjektive sowie der Distinktion zwischen Objekt- und Artenmodifikation beschrieben. Die empirischen Studien erhärten diese Hypothesen. Das Buch stellt sich gängigen Hypothesen zu Abfolgebeschränkungen kritsch entgegen und ist von Interesse für Syntaktiker und Semantiker, die sich mit DP-Struktur, der SL-/IL-Debatte und adjektivischer Modifikation beschäftigen.
