Ludmila Veselovská works at the Faculty of Arts, Palacky University in Olomouc, Czech Republic. Her research focuses on the morpho-syntax of English and Czech. She was the founding organizer of the EGG summer schools in 1994-7 and of the Olinco colloquia in 2013-2018, which helped to establish generative frameworks in the traditionally rich Czech linguistic space.
The study presents a systematic and complete morpho-syntactic analysis of Czech nominal phrases in a generative framework, based on universal structures and morpho-syntactic principles. The author cites relevant studies in the field, assuming that morphology results from steps in syntactic derivations that reflect the underlying structure (Radically Distributed Morphology). Theoretical claims are based on examples (including corpus data) and contrasted paradigms. Most data come from Czech, but other languages are also used to demonstrate more universal characteristics of the phenomena. The paradigms cover (i) the structure and feature content of nominal projections including adjectives, possessives and quantifiers, and (ii) agreements with nominal constituents such as pronominals and coordinates.
This book presents a generative analysis of Czech nominal phrases (with determiners and adjectives). It uses previous studies as well as original paradigms and corpus data. The study analyses the feature content of nouns and their agreements with pronominals, coordinates and quantifiers, arguing that nominal agreement is a superimposed dual system.
Derived Nominal Hypothesis – Concord – Czech possessives – Possessive movement – Quantified structures – Post-nominal genitive – Subject-predicate agreement – Analytic agreement – Theory of the morpho-syntax interface – Radically Distributed Morphology – Universal DP Hypothesis
