C Projects: Operations on Frames
The projects in this area mostly concentrate on nominal frames. The research in this part of the CRC originally started out with an investigation of type shifts based on the theory of concept types and determination developed in Löbner (2011). In the current funding period, the scope of this project group has been extended to shifts and operations on frames in general with a particular focus on the complex of countability, the semantics of nominal derivation, and nominal modification.
