Although non-projecting words have appeared in the literature before, it has gone largely unnoticed that such structures violate the basic tenets of X-bar theory. This work identifies these violations and develops a formally explicit revision of X-bar theory that can accommodate the requisite \"weak\" projections. \u003cbr\u003eThe resulting theory, stated in terms of Lexical-Functional Grammar, also yields a novel classification of clitics, and it sheds new light on a range of recent theoretical proposals, including economy, multi-word constructions, and the primitives of lexical semantics. At an abstract level, we see that the modular, parallel-projection architecture of LFG is essential to the description of a variety of otherwise recalcitrant facts about non-projecting words.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2003-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781402015328\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781402015328\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-010-0053-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 237\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343315595404,"sku":"9781402015328","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781402015328_ee29a909-69f9-4668-9d6b-fcfb9c5a2f9a.jpg?v=1755052483","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781402015328","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
