| adam_text | Modifiers and modification have been a major focus of inquiry for as
long as the formal study of semantics has existed, and remain at the
heart of major theoretical debates in the field. Modification offers
comprehensive coverage of a wide range of topics, including vague-
ness and gradability, comparatives and degree constructions, the
lexical semantics of adjectives and adverbs, crosscategorial regu-
larities, and the relation between meaning and syntactic category.
Morzycki guides the reader through the varied and sometimes myste-
rious phenomena surrounding modification and the ideas that have
been proposed to account for them. Presenting disparate approaches
in a consistent analytical framework, this accessibly written work,
which includes an extensive glossary of technical terms, is essential
reading for researchers and students of all levels in linguistics, the
philosophy of language, and psycholinguistics.
* Uses an accessible, pedagogical style for greater understanding
of the empirical phenomena, theoretical proposals, and analytical
tools
* Provides detailed, worked-out examples of technical computations
* Includes a glossary of technical terminology
