It formulates an original and highly predictive theory of argument structure that accounts for a large number of syntactic phenomena. The main analytical focus is on passives, nominals, psychological predicates, and the theory of external arguments. In the course of\u003ci\u003e Argument Structure\u003c\/i\u003e, Jane Grimshaw suggests that, contrary to the prevailing view, argument structure is in fact structured; it encodes prominence relations among arguments which reflect both their thematic and their aspectual properties. The prominence relations support a new theory of external arguments, with far reaching consequences for the syntactic behavior of predicates, and the nature of cross-categorial variation in argument structure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46893607583895,"sku":"9780262570909","price":4522.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780262570909.webp?v=1770317545","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/argument-structure-9780262570909","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
