It is difficult to see, for example, how such an account can explain the wide-ranging linguistic phenomena governed by structural properties, such as c-command, or semantic properties, such as downward entailment. We also argue against Goldberg's rejection of formal semantics in favour of an account of meaning based primarily on information structure and discourse function. | Publication Type: | Review | Source of Publication: | Cognitive Linguistics, 20(1), p. 145-155 | Publisher: | De Gruyter Mouton | Place of Publication: | Berlin, Germany | ISSN: | 1613-3641 1861-048X 0936-5907 |
