SYNTACTIC DEPENDENCIES: LEXICAL AND CONFIGURATIONAL APPROACHES (A VIEW FROM ADJECTIVES)
The paper deals with the description of the inventory of participants in the adjectival phrase. The theoretical problem posed in the paper is the comparison of the configurational approach with the approach based on the concept of valence. We came to the conclusion that the adjectival dependencies can be described better in terms of valence. Another result is the taxonomy of adjectival dependents in Russian. The main data for the study were taken from Russian, data from some other languages are involved as well.
