This volume presents a crosslinguistic survey of the current
theoretical debates around copular constructions from a generative
perspective. Following an introduction to the main questions
surrounding the analysis and categorization of copulas, the
chapters address a range of key topics including the existence of
more than one copular form in certain languages, the factors
determining the presence or absence of a copula, and the morphology
of copular forms. The team of expert contributors present new
theoretical proposals regarding the formal mechanisms behind the
behaviour and patterns observed in copulas in a wide range of
typologically diverse languages, including Czech, French, Korean,
and languages from the Dene and Bantu families. Their findings have
implications beyond the study of copulas and shed more light on
issues such as agreement relations, the nature of grammatical
categories, and nominal predicates in syntax and semantics.
