We’re happy to introduce a new book in the series: A lexicalist account of argument structure, by Stefan Müller. The book argues that for a proper account of argument structure, we need to combine insights from approaches usually treated as widely disparate: Minimalism and Construction Grammar.

The book implements these insights in a variant of Lexical Functional Grammar, augmented by tools for phrasal constructions derived from Construction Grammar. It offers a new formalization that may provide solutions to longstanding problems not available in other formalizations.
