Subcategorization• The basic idea is that items in any category can
be divided into subcategories.• Nouns, adjectives etc can be subcategorized
too.• One way of sub-categorization is to think of the
frames in which an item occur.– Subcategorization Principle
Any lexical item of category X can be subcategorized with respect to the range of idiosyncratic Complements (i.e. sister constituents) which permits it within the minimal X-bar containing it. (Radford1988:365)
