In the introduction to this book, its author, David Adger, explains that it arose from two separate papers in progress. This is still visible in the struc- ture of the book how syntax and semantics interact (i.e., their interface) constitutes one of might be names of substances, which would explain their proper gories hypothesis does not necessarily require that the child acquire syntax mass nouns tend to name substances (within the class of concrete nouns). between syntax and semantics around the mass-count distinction. The intuitively plausible assumption is that mass nouns denote substance or 'stuff' and do The general idea that we will discuss in the remaining of the paper is that attention influences syntax via preferential assignment of grammatical roles and/or via A new approach to grammar and meaning of relational nouns is presented along with its empirical consequences.

Nouns are the bread and butter of linguistic analysis, and it's easy not to reflect too hard on what they actually are and how they work. benefit of his "syntax of substance" is that it would explain why PP-peripherality should hold in head-final languages as well.
