Semantics and morphosyntactic variation : : qualities and the grammar of property concepts / / Itamar Francez and Andrew Koontz-Garboden.
Explores why different languages have systematically different ways of saying the same thing. It focuses on adjectival predication and shows that systematic differences in the meaning of words expressing adjectival notions have systematic effects on the form of the sentences they appear in.
