This book contains an original analysis of the existential there-sentence from a philosophical-linguistic perspective. At its core is the claim that there-sentences' form is distinct from that of ordinary subject-predicate sentences, and that this fundamental difference explains the construction's unusual grammatical and discourse properties.
Rachel Szekely is an Assistant Professor in the English Department of Long Island University, and a graduate of the Linguistics program of The Graduate Center, CUNY, USA.
