Abstract

Abstract : This paper revisits Ritter's (1991 ) findings concerning Hebrew nominals in light of recent arguments that nominal phrases are headed by the noun itself (rather than enclosed in functional structure), and shows that the force of Ritter's argument is as strong as it ever was. It provides strong evidence in favor of functional structure above the projection of the noun itself.
