The division labor between the lexicon and the syntax has been a
major topic within the generative grammar for decades. Many
linguists have been occupied with assigning more central
information to the lexicon in order to explain the syntactic
behaviors which seem to be dependent on the lexical semantics of
certain items. This book, however, argues that the syntax-driven
approach, whereby properties of grammatical structures, typically
having been assumed to be associated with lexical items, are
reduced to general syntactic considerations, can provide
straightforward accounts to various domains of nominal and
adjectival constructions. The sets of functional projections
responsible for forming nominal and adjectival phrases are also
identified, which are considered universally attested and
necessitated even in East Asian languages, which have been known as
the languages with impoverished functional categories. This book
will be useful to linguists interested in the syntax-semantics
interface issues especially in the nominal and adjectival
constructions and also serve as a reference source for those
interested in East Asian languages including Korean.
