Proceedings of the LFG10 Conference; 2010 June 18-20; Ottawa, Canada. Standford: CSLI Publications; 2010. p. 5-25.1098-6782http://hdl.handle.net/10230/32845This paper argues for the claim that the definite article (d-article) in Catalan is a bound morpheme that adds its information about grammatical category to that of the host it forms a compound with. In this way, the derived compound satisfies two X0 categories in the c-structure, in an instance of lexical sharing (Wescoat 2002). The present proposal is shown to be superior to alternatives that, while assuming bound morpheme status for the d-article, assume a single category for the word that contains the d- article (as in Miller 1992 for French). The crucial evidence is provided by potentially boundless sequences in which the d-article and weak preposi- tions are adjacent to each other. Only a theory that recognizes the status of these elements as bound morphemes that add a grammatical category to the word they are part of correctly accounts for the relevant evidence.application/pdfeng© CSLI Publications (http://web.stanford.edu/group/cslipublications/cslipublications/site/)Gramàtica lèxico-funcionalCatalà - GramàticaCatalà - Lexicografiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObjectinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
