We suggest that property concepts are lexicalized as uncategorized roots. Depending on the category of the functional heads they merge with, they participate in two types of predication. Both types are based on possession, overtly or covertly expressed. Our results add to recent work by Francez and Koontz-Garboden (2013) concerning variation in the lexicalization and grammar of property concepts cross-linguistically.</p>}, journal={Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung}, author={Menon, Mythili and Pancheva, Roumyana}, year={2019}, month={May}, pages={289–302} }
