A Selectional Theory of Adjunct Control (Linguistic Inquiry Monographs) is the groundbreaking book that will revolutionize the way we understand adjunct control in linguistics. Written by renowned linguist Idan Landau, this book offers a comprehensive and systematic theory that delves into the complex interaction of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics involved in adjunct control.

If you've ever been puzzled by the shifting nature of adjunct control or struggled to analyze the semantic properties of adjuncts, this book is for you. Landau's extensive analysis of ten different types of adjuncts reveals a fundamental distinction between those with strict obligatory control (OC) and those that alternate between OC and nonobligatory control (NOC).

What sets this book apart is its ability to explain how and why adjuncts shift between OC and NOC, elucidating their syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic properties. Landau's two-tiered theory of control serves as the foundation for this groundbreaking analysis, offering a fully compositional account of controlled adjuncts.

This book is not only a theoretical masterpiece, but it also has practical implications. By shedding new light on classical puzzles in the acquisition of adjunct control by children, Landau provides insights into language development and processing. Whether you're a linguistics student, researcher, or language enthusiast, A Selectional Theory of Adjunct Control (Linguistic Inquiry Monographs) is a must-read.
