This book considers the syntax and semantics of non-verbal predicates (i.e., nominal, adjectival and prepositional predicates) in copular sentences. Isabelle Roy explores how a single structure for predication can account for the different interpretations of non-verbal predicates. The book departs from earlier studies by arguing in favor of a ternary distinction between defining / characterizing / situation-descriptive predicates rather than the more common stage-level/individual distinction.

Designed for those beginning to study linguistics, this is a
lively introduction to two key aspects of the structure of language:
syntax (the structure of sentences) and morphology
(the structure of words).
