Modifiers and modification have been a major focus of inquiry for
as long as the formal study of semantics has existed, and remain at
the heart of major theoretical debates in the field. Modification
offers comprehensive coverage of a wide range of topics, including
vagueness and gradability, comparatives and degree constructions,
the lexical semantics of adjectives and adverbs, crosscategorial
regularities, and the relation between meaning and syntactic
category. Morzycki guides the reader through the varied and
sometimes mysterious phenomena surrounding modification and the
ideas that have been proposed to account for them. Presenting
disparate approaches in a consistent analytical framework, this
accessibly written work, which includes an extensive glossary of
technical terms, is essential reading for researchers and students
of all levels in linguistics, the philosophy of language and
psycholinguistics.
