Originally published in 1986, this book discusses how the proper
boundary between the lexicon and syntax should be defined and
examines various word formation processes in Japanese and English
which involve some interaction of morphology and syntax. It also
questions the plausibility of the lexicalist hypothesis as a theory
of universal grammar. It proposes a rule typology approach to the
syntax/lexicon dichotomy and looks at deverbal nominals and
compounds in English and Japanese and discusses their similarities
and differences. In particular the important role argument
structure plays in morphological derivations is analysed.
