Description
Summary:This paper examines Determinerless PPs in English from a theoretical perspective. We classify attested P + N combinations across a number of analytic dimensions, arguing that the observed cases fall into at least three distinct classes. We then survey three different analytic methods that can predict the behaviour of the differing classes and examine various remaining difficult cases that may remain as challenges.
