Beschreibungen

<p><i>The Hungarian Nominal Functional Sequence</i> combines the methods of syntactic cartography with evidence from compositional semantics in a comprehensive exploration of the structure of Noun Phrases. Proceeding from the lexical core to the top of DP, it uses Hungarian as a window on the underlying universal functional hierarchy of Noun Phrases, but it also regularly complements and supports the analysis with cross-linguistic evidence. The book works out a minimal map of the extended NP in the sense that the proposed hierarchy only has projections which host overt material and it does not draw on semantically empty word order projections. Topics which receive special attention include the syntax of classifiers, demonstratives, proper names, possessive NPs and plural pronouns.</p>

Éva Dékány is a senior researcher at the Research Institute for Linguistics in Budapest. She received her PhD in theoretical linguistics from the University of Tromsø in 2012. Her main areas of interest are the structure of nominal and adpositional phrases as well as subordination in Hungarian and various Finno-Ugric languages.

Shines a new light on well-worn data like the structure of pronouns and possessive anti-agreement. Offers detailed analyses of poorly treated topics such as the associative plural and the insides of demonstratives. Proposes that contrary to the widely held view, certain plural markers in the Hungarian DP are pure agreement morphemes.
