Description

Explore the complexities of English grammar with Definiteness and Indefiniteness: A Study in Reference and Grammaticality Prediction. Published by Routledge as part of the Routledge Library Editions: The English Language, this work provides a deep look into how definite and indefinite articles function within the language. This book offers an integrated pragmatic-semantic theory to explain how reference works. By examining these linguistic patterns, the text explains many co-occurrence restrictions between articles and non-modifiers. It is an essential resource for those studying how semantics plays a role in predicting grammatical sentences. Readers will find a detailed analysis of the semantic oppositions that lead to ungrammaticality. The text proposes a generalization that links these semantic oppositions with syntactic oppositions regarding conditions of application. This makes it a valuable addition to any collection focused on the structure, syntax, and grammar of the English language.
