Syntax and Semantics of Split Constructions : A Comparative Study, Hardcover by Butler, Alastair; Mathieu, Eric, ISBN 1403921121, ISBN-13 9781403921123, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK Butler (formal language games, U. of Amsterdam) and Mathieu (phonetics and linguistics, U. College, London) strive to provide a principled account of the intervention effects split constructions exhibit, arguing that all constructions sensitive to weak islands are really split constructions. Their analysis is posed in semantic terms, but does not obliterate the role of syntax, and they draw data from many languages to make the study comparative. They append the definitions of the predicate logic system used for the semantic account. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
