3.2 The V-N Type Compound <br />

A question to be addressed:<br />

If roots can get their categories from the syntactic<br />

environment, why are C-functors required anyway?<br />

A theoretical foundation:<br />

Only those lexical items with independent phonological<br />

forms can attain content via encyclopedia search (ensearch)<br />

(Borer forthcoming).<br />

So if a root has no independent phonological form, it can<br />

only appear with a C-functor to take a full phonological<br />

realization, with content being assigned via en-search.
