Description

Explore the complex relationship between syntax and semantics in this academic volume from the Outstanding Dissertations in Linguistics series. Published by Routledge, this work examines how gradable adjectives such as bright, dense, and short function through measure functions. By viewing these adjectives as functions that map objects to abstract representations of measurement, scales, and degrees, the text provides a foundation for understanding linguistic properties. This book offers detailed explanations for a wide range of syntactic and semantic characteristics. Readers can examine the syntactic distribution of gradable adjectives, the scopal characteristics of comparatives, and the empirical effects of adjectival polarity. It serves as a specialized resource for those studying the mechanics of language, providing a principled approach to how measurement and comparison work within linguistic structures.
