ABSTRACT
In Chapter 2, we briefly looked at some of the characteristics of groups and saw that, broadly speaking, for any word class (noun, verb, adverb, etc.), there is the possibility of a group. Usually, the Head of a group is a word class of the same name; thus the Head of a nominal group is typically (but not always) a noun, the Head of an adverbial group is an adverb and so on. We mentioned also that groups of the same kind can be linked or bound together to make group complexes. In this chapter, we look at these phenomena in greater detail.
