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.
