More about the book
Focusing on the structure of the Irish language, this book delves into its verb-subject-object order and examines various linguistic elements from a functional perspective. It explores the noun phrase's layered structure, clause composition, and the verbal system, including verb valence behaviors linked to event and argument structure. The text also analyzes the derivation of the verbal noun, light verbs, and complex predicates, while addressing unique linguistic phenomena in Irish, such as the dual verbs for 'to be' and previous functionalist treatments of the language.
