Generalized noun phrases are expressions which play the role of verbal arguments in the same way as ordinary NPs. However proper generalized NPs cannot easily occur in all argumental positions of the verb. Two types of generalized NPs are distinguished and semantically characterized and various properties of functions they denote are studied.

Preposition-phrase attachment in noun phrases
Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 1989This paper examines the ambiguity of noun phrases (NPs) with postmodifying preposition phrases (PPs), such as “the triangle next to the circle below the square.” This ambiguity is attributable in part to the difference in attachment sites for the second PP. If it attaches low, it modifies just the NP that is the object of the first preposition, and the

I investigate six possible analyses for such noun phrases: (1) that they are elliptical, (2) that the apparent modifiers are nouns, (3) that the apparent ...

The Morphosyntax of the Noun Phrase
2009This chapter is intended to familiarize the reader with certain aspects of the noun phrase in the Kwa languages. A major observation that we have made in this chapter is that even though the noun head precedes modifiers and determiners on the surface, it is reasonable to assume that these languages are underlyingly head initial. The consequence of this
