Description
The architecture of the human language faculty has been one of the main foci of the linguistic research of the last half century. This branch of linguistics, broadly known as Generative Grammar, is concerned with the formulation of explanatory formal accounts of linguistic phenomena with the ulterior goal of gaining insight into the properties of the 'language organ'. The series comprises high quality monographs and collected volumes that address such issues. The topics in this series range from phonology to semantics, from syntax to information structure, from mathematical linguistics to studies of the lexicon.
Surveying noun phrases and their syntax, the book offers a theoretically oriented, comparative study that examines basic aspects of noun projection. The discussion includes the following topics: The DP hypothesis, the status of D in languages without determiners, demonstratives, the role of classifiers, the morphosyntactic features/projections of nouns, head and phrasal movement in the noun phrase, adjectival modification, possessors, argument structure of nouns, the partitive construction and the N-of-an-N construction.

"Alles in allem handelt es sich aber um ein eindrucksvolles Buch, das wohl bald den Status eines Referenzwerkes für zukünftige Behandlungen des Themas erlangen wird. Wenn man es von Anfang bis Ende durcharbeitet, wird man mit einer Fülle spannender Einsichten belohnt, die von hoher Relevanz für die linguistische Theoriebildung sind. Es ist ein anspruchsvolles und durchaus schwierieges Buch, das jeder Generativist, gleich ob syntaktisch oder semantisch interessiert, letztlich mit Gewinn lesen wird, und das als State-of-the-Art-Bericht daher in keinem universitären Bücherschrank fehlen sollte."
Holden Härtl in: Zeitschrift für Rezensionen zur germanistischen Sprachwissenschaft 1/2009
"[...] Noun phrase in the generative perspective is an extremely useful book and a very welcome attempt to collect, compare and integrate in a single work a number of analyses dispersed across the literature over the last forty years. Among its merits and its coverage, the clarity of its writing and the way in which the authors have managed the difficult task of creating connections between the various sections - no small feat by far for such a diverse and complex domain."

"Hier ist etwas sehr Inhaltreiches und Erschöpfendes gelungen."
