One of the ongoing debates in linguistic theory has focused on distinguishing the component of word-formation and characterizing the relation between morphology and syntax. This dissertation investigates cross-linguistic phenomena that lie at the interface of these two components and formalizes a restrictive theory of the computational system that consists of parallel nominal and verbal domains and which provides uniform principles of predicate composition.

520 $a One of the ongoing debates in linguistic theory has focused on distinguishing the component of word-formation and characterizing the relation between morphology and syntax. This dissertation investigates cross-linguistic phenomena that lie at the interface of these two components and formalizes a restrictive theory of the computational system that consists of parallel nominal and verbal domains and which provides uniform principles of predicate composition.
520 $a By studying complex predicates in Eastern Armenian and Persian, this dissertation isolates the primitive atoms used to encode meaning in the syntactic code and argues for a single computational domain responsible for the formation of predicates. In the model proposed, syntactic principles are used to form predicates by combining the primitive grammatical features. The notion of word is thus defined as a level in the syntactic structure and the distinction between a "word" and a "phrase" is characterized by the structural complexity of the constituents involved in the formation of a particular predicate. The dissertation further argues that the distinct morphological, syntactic and semantic properties of words and phrases can be captured straightforwardly from the resulting configuration and the interface conditions. In the computational model developed, the lexicon consists of a list of the primitive atoms of meaning and of unordered sets of associated atoms. These lexical entries, combined with the spell-out node to the PF component, determine the parameters for language variation and can derive the structure-meaning mismatches observed in verbal predicates.
520 $a A close examination of the projection of arguments in Eastern Armenian and Finnish leads to the development of parallel nominal and verbal primitive features that account for the direct correlation between the assignment of object case, word order and semantic interpretation. In addition, an investigation of the nominal elements in Persian complex predicates provides a three-way distinction between predicate modifiers, non-specific objects and specific arguments, based on the syntactic configuration in the verb phrase.
