A Notional Theory of Syntactic Categories by John M. Anderson (9780521580236)

Description - A Notional Theory of Syntactic Categories by John M. Anderson

This book presents an innovative theory of syntactic categories and the lexical classes they define. It revives the traditional idea that these are to be distinguished notionally (semantically). The author proposes a notation based on semantic features that accounts for the syntactic behavior of classes. The book also presents a case for considering this classification--again in a rather traditional vein--to be basic to determining the syntactic structure of sentences.
