This book addresses recent developments in the study of quantifier
phrases, nominalizations, and the linking definite determiner. It
reflects the intense reconsideration of the nature of
quantification, and of fundamental aspects of the syntax and
semantics of quantifier phrases. Leading international scholars
explore novel and challenging ideas at the interfaces between
syntax and morphology, syntax and semantics, morphology and the
lexicon. They examine core issues in the field, such as kind
reference, number marking, partitivity, context dependence and the
way presuppositions are built into the meanings of quantifiers.
They also consider how in this context definiteness and the
definite determiner D play a central role, and the way in which D
is also instrumental in nominalizations. With nominalization, the
lexical semantic contribution of verbs and their arguments becomes
central, and within the perspective of this book the question is
asked whether syntactic nominalizations share with noun phrases the
same external layer, namely the functional projection DP. If so,
what exactly is the contribution of D in this case, and how much of
the lexical correspondence between nouns and verbs is preserved?
This book presents the latest thinking on cross-paradigm and
cross-linguistic approaches in three of the most vibrant and
productive research areas in linguistics. It paves the way towards
a more comprehensive understanding of how quantification,
definiteness, and nominalizations are encoded in the grammar.
