Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book deals with the traditional problem of the classification of linguisticunits, with a primary focus on word classes. The approach is descriptive ratherthan theoretical, and is based on the use of distinctive features analogous to theones used in phonology, which entails a radical reworking of the traditionalclassification. The first part presents some basic notions such as the use ofdistinctive features and the role of word classes in grammar; classification byprototypes; and the use of world knowledge as a resource to assign thematicrelations to constituents in the sentence.
