Book Description
English words can be categorized into 9 basic types which are called "parts of speech" or sometimes "word classes". These are as follows: Noun, Verb, Adjective, Adverb, Pronoun, Preposition, Conjunction, Interjection, and Determiner. Many words may have more than one kind of function. In other words, they can be more than one part of speech. For example, "clear" can be a verb, an adjective and an adverb. “After” can be a preposition, an adjective, an adverb and a conjunction. Here, you will find an alphabetical list of words that can be used as at least two parts of speech: Sample This: Nouns – Alphabetical list of words that are NOUNS but can also be used as at least one more part of speech: 1. abandon [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 2. abdominal [noun] -- also acts as: adjective, 3. aboriginal [noun] -- also acts as: adjective, 4. abrasive [noun] -- also acts as: adjective, 5. absolute [noun] -- also acts as: adjective, 6. abstract [noun] -- also acts as: verb / adjective, 7. abuse [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 8. academic [noun] -- also acts as: adjective, 9. accent [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 10. access [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 11. accessory [noun] -- also acts as: adjective, 12. acclaim [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 13. accord [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 14. account [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 15. ache [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 16. acrylic [noun] -- also acts as: adjective, 17. act [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 18. acting [noun] -- also acts as: adjective, 19. action [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 20. active [noun] -- also acts as: adjective, 21. address [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 22. adhesive [noun] -- also acts as: adjective, 23. adult [noun] -- also acts as: adjective, 24. advance [noun] -- also acts as: verb / adjective, 25. advantage [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 26. advisory [noun] -- also acts as: adjective, 27. advocate [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 28. aerial [noun] -- also acts as: adjective, 29. aesthetic [noun] -- also acts as: adjective, 30. affirmative [noun] -- also acts as: adjective, 31. affix [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 32. affront [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 33. age [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 34. agglomerate [noun] -- also acts as: verb / adjective, 35. aggregate [noun] -- also acts as: verb / adjective, 36. aid [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 37. aim [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 38. air [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 39. airbrush [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 39. airbrush [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 40. airlift [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 41. alarm [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 42. alcoholic [noun] -- also acts as: adjective, 43. alert [noun] -- also acts as: verb / adjective, 44. alias [noun] -- also acts as: adverb, 45. alien [noun] -- also acts as: adjective, 46. alloy [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 47. ally [noun] -- also acts as: verb, 48. alpine [noun] -- also acts as: adjective, 49. alternate [noun] -- also acts as: verb / adjective, 50. alternative [noun] -- also acts as: adjective

Book Description
A bold argument that “and” always means “&,” the truth-functional sentential connective. In this book, Barry Schein argues that “and” is always the sentential logical connective with the same, one, meaning. “And” always means “&,” across the varied constructions in which it is tokened in natural language. Schein examines the constructions that challenge his thesis, and shows that the objections disappear when these constructions are translated into Eventish, a neo-Davidsonian event semantics, and, enlarged with Cinerama Semantics, a vocabulary for spatial orientation and navigation. Besides rescuing “and” from ambiguity, Eventish and Cinerama Semantics solve general puzzles of grammar and meaning unrelated to conjunction, revealing the book's central thesis in the process: aspects of meaning mistakenly attributed to “and” are discovered to reflect neighboring structures previously unseen and unacknowledged. Schein argues that Eventish and Cinerama Semantics offer a fundamental revision to clause structure and what aspects of meaning are represented therein. Eventish is distinguished by four features: supermonadicity, which enlarges verbal decomposition so that every argument relates to its own event; descriptive event anaphora, which replaces simple event variables with silent descriptive pronouns; adverbialization, which interposes adverbials derived from the descriptive content of every DP; and AdrPs, which replace all NPs with Address Phrases that locate what nominals denote within scenes or frames of reference. With 'And,' Schein rehabilitates an old rule of transformational, generative grammar, answering the challenges to it exhaustively and meticulously.

Book Description
Displacement (of linguistic expressions) is a ubiquitous phenomenon in natural language. In the generative tradition, displacement is modelled in terms of transformation, or more precisely, movement, which establishes dependencies among syntactic constituents in a phrase structure. This book probes the question regarding to what extent movement theories can be unified. Specifically, I address issues surrounding the debate of the distinction between head movement and phrasal movement over the past few decades. The distinction presupposes that structural complexity of the moving element is correlated with its movement properties. The goal of this book is to show that this is an unwarranted assumption. Based on a number of case studies on verb displacement phenomena in Cantonese, I attempt a unified theory of movement by abandoning the head/phrase distinction in movement theories. These case studies converge on the conclusion that the phrase structure status of syntactic constituents bears a minimal role in theorizing displacement phenomena in natural language. This volume represents a minimalist pursuit of a unified theory of movement.
