This volume presents research into the syntax and semantics of
English deverbal compound adjectives based on the passive and
active participles, e.g. pencil-drawn, action-packed, risk-taking,
time-consuming. The study, couched in the current Distributed
Morphology framework, uses rich linguistic data to investigate the
syntactic behaviour of English participial compounds, in particular
their ability to occur in typically adjectival and verbal contexts.
The main claim of this work is that the verbal syntactic layers are
not universally projected in the internal structure of adjectival
synthetic compounds, the most important consequence of which is
that linguistic formations derived from lexical verbs, even in
combination with their arguments, need not be deverbal in the
morphosyntactic sense.
