Amsterdam, Philadelphia: John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2008. -
198p.
This book investigates the verbal system of Persian and is focused on the interaction of operators such as modality, tense, aspect and negation in this language within the Minimalist Program (henceforth MP) (Chomsky 1995, 2001, 2004). The main question which is addressed in this research is: Does the morpho-syntactic structure of modals map on their root and epistemic interpretations or vice versa?
