Separate chapters in Part I offer relatively complete analyses of each. These analyses are integrated into the framework of Emonds (2000), wherein a simplified subcategorization theory fully expresses complement selection. Principal results of that framework constitute the initial essay of Part I. areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                 \n                \n                \u003cp\u003eThe self-contained essays can all be read separately.
