The Raising of Predicates: Predicative Noun Phrases and the Theory of Clause Structure - Cambridge Studies in Linguistics
Moro, Andrea (Professor, Istituto Scientifico H. San Raffaele, Milan)
In this study Andrea Moro identifies the new category of inverse copular sentences, where the predicative noun phrase occupies the position which is canonically reserved for subjects. In the process, he sheds new light on such classical issues as the distribution and nature of expletives, locality theory and cliticization phenomena.
