Abstract
In this work we present a study of verb syntax in a case of Primary Progressive Aphasia, trying to empirically check two radical claims about Lexicon and syntax: a) verbs are a closed class of light verbs (Kayne, 2009); b) argument structure is a matter of syntactically driven operations (incorporation / conflation), in a constructionalist fashion (Hale and Keyser, 1993, 2002).I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
