Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the grammatical behavior of lexical items which cross the boundaries between lexical and functional categories (termed "semi- lexical categories"), these 13 papers discuss the relationship between semi-lexicality and syntactic projection, the nominal domain, the verbal domain, and adpositional elements. In taking on these "in- between" categories, the book delves into the heart of contemporary grammatical theory, theories of language acquisition, code-switching, and aphasia.
