Putting adpositions in place : sortal domains and modifier PPs in Japanese /
This monograph explores the grammar of PP modifiers in Japanese, concentrating on their word order. The study argues that (i) PP modifiers are hierarchically arranged and (ii) there is an interesting fine-grained correlation between different PP types and Modal/Aspect functors which indicates that T...
