On the Semantics of Syntax - Mood and Condition in English

Informationen zum Autor Davies, Eirian Zusammenfassung First published in 1979, this book develops a grammatically orientated semantics (as opposed to a semantically orientated grammar) of mood and condition in English. It seeks to establish correspondences between areas of semantic organisation (‘planes’) and surface grammar, without reverting to an intermediate notion of deep grammar.
