Edge-Based Clausal Syntax : A Study of (Mostly) English Object Structure /
In this volume, Paul Postal rejects the notion that an English phrase of the form [V + DP] invariably involves a grammatical relation properly chracterized as a 'direct object'. He argues instead that at least three distinct relations occur in such a structure.
