Valency - Theoretical, Descriptive and Cognitive Issuesrepresents a collection of articles which focus on the issue of complementation within different theoretical frameworks. The questions addressed range from discussions about the appropriate treatment of valency in syntactic theory to particular descriptive issues, contrastive studies and cognitive aspects such as the role of valency in language acquisition.
