Lexical polycategoriality : cross-linguistic, cross-theoretical and language acquisition approaches /
This book presents a collection of chapters on the nature, flexibility and acquisition of lexical categories. These long-debated issues are looked at anew by exploring the hypothesis of lexical polycategoriality -according to which lexical forms are not fully, or univocally, specified for lexical ca...
