| Description | We present a theory of conversion in terms of phrasal spellout. In this approach, there are no zero morphemes. Instead, the ‘silent’ meaning components are pro-nounced cumulatively within overt morphemes. We show how this approach works forthe case of adjective-verb conversion in English and Czech. |
