Contents:

Introduction -- Part I: Synchrony -- A functional-cognitive model of the English NP -- The English NP: Structure, order and the role of (inter)subjectvity -- Part II: Diachrony -- (Inter)subjectification and grammaticalization: Pathways of change in the English NP -- Part III: The case studies -- Data and methods -- The completeness adjectives -- The specificity adjectives -- Such, zulk, and what -- Old and little: subjective compounds -- Summary: Towards a reconciliation of synchrony and diachrony.

Summary: The book investigates pathways of (inter)subjectification followed by prenominal elements in the English Noun Phrase, by tracing the development of identifying, noun-intensifying and subjective compound uses. By means of in-depth corpus study, the assumed unidirectionality of (inter)subjectification in the NP is verified and refined. -- Provided by publisher.
