The first in-depth study of the way languages can use a noun, as opposed to an adjective, to modify another noun. It surveys a wide range of languages and provides a detailed, explicit theoretical analysis of a range of previously unexplored constructions. It will be of interest to scholars and students of syntax, morphology and semantics.

This study explores the impact of information structure on object representation across different languages. It delves into how various linguistic frameworks influence the way objects are perceived and articulated, highlighting the interplay between syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. By examining diverse languages, the book uncovers patterns and variations in object treatment, offering insights into the cognitive and communicative processes that shape language use.
