Subjects in English: From a Valency to a Construction Treatment of Non-canonical Subjects

Subjects in English: From a Valency to a Construction Treatment of Non-canonical Subjects (Trends in Linguistics: Studies and Monographs) (Trends in Linguistics. Studies and Monographs [Tilsm]) by Peter Uhrig
English | 2018 | ISBN: 3110587254 | 369 pages | PDF | 4,6 MB

The purpose of the book is twofold. First it tries to give a descriptive account of subjects in English. The second aim is to elucidate the status of the subject both as a concept in grammatical theory and with regard to the question whether the subject is determined by item-specific arbitrary formal restrictions in the same way as postverbal complements of the verb have been shown to be.
