Description: This volume presents a crosslinguistic survey of the current theoretical debates around copular constructions from a generative perspective. The chapters combine the study of empirical data with theoretical analyses and shed light on key issues such as agreement, the nature of grammatical categories, and nominal predicates in syntax and semantics.
