Layering of Size and Type Noun Constructions in English by Lieselotte Brems
English | 19 Dec. 2011 | ISBN: 3110252910 | 424 Pages | PDF | 4 MB

On the basis of synchronic and diachronic data analysis, the volume takes a close look at the synchronic layers of binominal size noun and type noun uses (a bunch/a load of X; a sort of X; a Y type of X) and reconsiders the framework of grammaticalization in view of issues raised by the phrases under discussion.
