Nominalizations, Double Genitives and Possessives: Evidence for the Dp-hypothesis in Serbian (Linguistics & Philosophy)

The goal of this work is twofold. First, it aims to account for double genitive constructions in Serbian. Second, it aims to re-evaluate the DP hypothesis in light of their existence in Serbian. Based on evidence from the categorial status of possessives, argumenthood in the nominal domain, the morphosyntactic structure of nominalizations, and the assignment of the genitive case, it is argued that DP projection must be assumed in Serbian. This series addresses theoretical issues in the language sciences that bear on traditional questions of philosophy. Possible topics are the foundations of linguistics as a science, syntactic theories, the syntax-semantics interface, theoretical issues in semantics, pragmatics, and phonetics.
