The Structure of Determiner Phrases in Gedeo. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2010, Pages: 108
In earlier generative grammar work a noun phrase has been analyzed as a determiner + noun sequence in which the determiner occupies the specifier position.Recently, on the basis of various emperical evidences syntaticians have tried to propose a new type of approach for the presentation of determiners.In this new approch the lexical noun is not the head of the phrase traditionally assumed to as NP.Instead,the determiners are considered as the head of the projection of the DP.This book,therefore,tries to analyse the structure of determiner phrases in Gedeo,one of the minority languages in Ethiopia, in light of the theory of DP hypothesis.The book provides also adequate information on the understanding of DP structure in natural languages.This work might help pedagogical researchers to prepare a pedagogy material on the language.In addition, it will help students of linguistics,to understand about DP and conduct research on the same area,specially on Ethiopian minority languages.
