{"product_id":"9783110476460","title":"Adjectival Modification and Order Restrictions: The Influence of Temporariness on Prenominal Word Order","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis monographs investigates into the influence of the individual-\/stage-level distinction (IL\/SL) on order restrictions of multiple prenominal adjectives (AORs). It rejects the restriction regularly postulated—across different research frameworks—that SL-adjectives are being realized farther from the head noun than IL-adjectives, relegating the alleged constraint to an epiphenomenon of more general principles. While formal-theoretic hypotheses on AORs are formulated and put to the test empirically via a large corpus as well as two rating studies, the book also addresses adjective classification, modification patterns, and the IL-SL-debate in general. The preferred prenominal positions of typical SL-adjectives are argued to follow from their nature as absolute-gradable adjectives as well as from the distinction between object- and kind-modification. The empirical studies corroborate these considerations. The book critically discusses and opposes several well-established hypotheses on AORs, sketches a flexible and parsimonious syntax of adjectival modification, and will be of interest to syntacticians and semanticists working on DP-structure, the IL-SL-debate, and adjectival modification \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176433008880,"sku":"9783110476460","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783110476460_p0.jpg?v=1763717980","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783110476460","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
