Nonverbal Predication - Copular Sentences At the Syntax-Semantics Interface

Zusatztext This monograph tackles a very difficult topic, predicative copular sentences, in such a way as to make longstanding linguistic problems look fairly straightforward ... well-designed, carefully organized, and thorough.
