"This work presents a syntax of predication and Predicate Inversion that emphasises meaningless elements - called RELATORS and LINKERS - that play an essential role in the establishment and syntactic manipulation of predication relationships. In "Relators and Linkers", Marcel den Dikken presents a syntax of predication and the inversion of the predicate around its subject, emphasising meaningless elements (elements with no semantic load) that play an essential role in the establishment and syntactic manipulation of predication relationships. One such element, the RELATOR, mediates the relationship between a predicate and its subject in the base representation of predication structures. A second, the LINKER, connects the predicate to its subject in Predicate Inversion constructions. Den Dikken argues that all subject-predicate relationships are syntactically mediated by a RELATOR and that predication relationships in syntax are configurationally asymmetrical and non-directional. Discussing the inversion of the predicate around its subject and the distribution of LINKER elements surfacing between the inverted predicate and the subject, den Dikken presents an in-depth analysis of Predicate Inversion from the perspective of the minimalist theory of locality. .,." - Publisher's description].
