The Norwegian Nominal System: A Neo-Saussurean Perspective (Trends in Linguistics. Studies and Monographs [Tilsm] #294)

Description

This study presents a unified, economic account of the intricate relationship between form, meaning and interpretation in the Norwegian nominal system - without reference to polysemy. It covers all kinds of nominal signs, i.e. nouns, adjectives, pronouns and determiners, as well as the conventionalised syntactic combinations between them. Among its central innovations is the introduction of the feature general number into Norwegian morphology.
