There are nominals with no N although there is no antecedent for the missing N. In this paper I propose that the absence of N is not surprising, since D is the head of a nominal, and NP is just one type of complements that D subcategorizes for: besides NP, D can take as its complement PP and AP, and it may take no complement at all. Furthermore, this paper provides a principled account for why only the determiner the can take an AP complement. Both AP and NP denote a set or an <e,t> type, but the former differs from the latter in that it does not provide information about the members of the set. Determiners usually quantify over the member(s) of a set, and so they cannot take an AP-complement. However, I claim that the, unlike the other determiners, can be a determiner for a set or a restriction, and hence it can take AP as its complement. This claim is shown to shed light on the syntactic and semantic peculiarities of such expressions as the intelligent.
Abstract
There are nominals with no N although there is no antecedent for the missing N. In this paper I propose that the absence of N is not surprising, since D is the head of a nominal, and NP is just one type of complements that D subcategorizes for: besides NP, D can take as its complement PP and AP, and it may take no complement at all. Furthermore, this paper provides a principled account for why only the determiner the can take an AP complement. Both AP and NP denote a set or an <e,t> type, but the former differs from the latter in that it does not provide information about the members of the set. Determiners usually quantify over the member(s) of a set, and so they cannot take an AP-complement. However, I claim that the, unlike the other determiners, can be a determiner for a set or a restriction, and hence it can take AP as its complement. This claim is shown to shed light on the syntactic and semantic peculiarities of such expressions as the intelligent.
