Isi artikel

In this article, we argue that a structural distinction between predica- tional and equative copular clauses is illusory. All semantic predica- tional relationships are constructed asymmetrically via a syntactic predicational head; differences reduce to whether this head bears an event variable or not. This allows us to maintain a restrictive view of the syntax-semantics interface in the face of apparently recalcitrant data from Scottish Gaelic.
