The text includes papers demonstrating the depth and breadth of Hoekstra's contributions to the development of theoretical insights on a range of diverse topics, including argument structure, complementation Complementation (genetics) The complementary action of different genetic factors. The term usually implies two homologous chromosomes or chromosome sets, each defective because of mutation and unable by itself to promote the normal development or metabolism of , transitivity tran·si·tive adj. 1.
