Mapping Spatial PPs Guglielmo Cinque (Professor of Linguistics, Professor of Linguistics, Universita Ca' Foscari di Venezia)

Mapping Spatial PPs By Guglielmo Cinque (Professor of Linguistics, Professor of Linguistics, Universita Ca' Foscari di Venezia)

Summary

This collection explores the internal structure of prepositional phrases, and finds that phrases composed of spatial prepositions, adverbs, and particles do not have different structures, but merely spell out different parts of the same articulated configuration.

Mapping Spatial PPs Summary

Mapping Spatial PPs: The Cartography of Syntactic Structures, Volume 6 by Guglielmo Cinque (Professor of Linguistics, Professor of Linguistics, Universita Ca' Foscari di Venezia)

This volume focuses on the internal structure of prepositional phrases, an area that has so far received little attention from the standpoint of cartography. Despite the wide range of data and considerations presented in these essays, the contributors reach a strikingly convergent conclusion: that phrases composed of spatial prepositions, adverbs, and particles do not have different structures, but merely spell out different parts of the same articulated configuration.
