Summary This book provides a detailed cross-linguistic study of pseudo-noun incorporation, a phenomenon whereby an argument forms a 'closer than usual' relation with the verb. Imke Driemel explores eleven noun types across five different languages to arrive at a unifying theory that accounts for all properties of pseudo-noun incorporation
