The papers in this volume are revised versions of presentations at the conference on Language Universals and Language Typology in March 1985 at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. They include new proposals of universals, results of investigations to validate or refine previously proposed universal generalizations, and discussions concerning the explanation of universals. The volume will be of great interest to researchers in syntax and in language universals. In addition, scholars in pragmatics, philosophy of linguistics, psycholinguistics, anthropological linguistics and semantics will also find articles of interest in the book.

Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521318990
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 444

The three volumes of Language typology and syntactic description offer a unique survey of syntactic and morphological structure in the languages of the world. Topics covered include parts of speech; passives; complementation; relative clauses; adverbial clauses; inflectional morphology; tense; aspect and mood; and deixis. The major ways these notions are realized u=in the languages of the world are explored, and the contributors provide brief sketches of relevant aspects of representative languages. Each volume is written in an accessible style with new concepts explained and exemplified as they are introduced. Although each volume can be read independently, together they provide a major work of reference that will serve as a manual for field workers and anyone interested in cross-linguistic generalizations.

Language Typology and Syntactic Description: Volume 2, Complex Constructions
Author: Timothy Shopen
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780511619434
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This unique three-volume 2007 survey brings together a team of leading scholars to explore the syntactic and morphological structures of the world's languages. Clearly organized and broad-ranging, it covers topics such as parts-of-speech, passives, complementation, relative clauses, adverbial clauses, inflectional morphology, tense, aspect, mood, and diexis. The contributors look at the major ways that these notions are realized, and provide informative sketches of them at work in a range of languages. Each volume is accessibly written and clearly explains each new concept introduced. Although the volumes can be read independently, together they provide an indispensable reference work for all linguists and fieldworkers interested in cross-linguistic generalizations. Most of the chapters in the second edition are substantially revised or completely new - some on topics not covered by the first edition. Volume II covers co-ordination, complementation, noun phrase structure, relative clauses, adverbial clauses, discourse structure, and sentences as combinations of clauses.

Language Universals and Linguistic Typology
Author: Clark Hess
Publisher: States Academic Press
ISBN: 9781639893225
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
A language universal is a pattern that occurs systematically in natural languages. It focuses on the study of generalizations across languages, related to perception, cognition and other abilities of the brain. Studies in this field of linguistics are closely associated with the field of linguistic typology, which studies and categorizes languages according to their structural characteristics. Its goal is to describe and explain the shared properties and the structural diversity of the languages in the world. Sub-disciplines of linguistic typology include qualitative typology, quantitative typology, theoretical typology, syntactic typology and lexical typology. This book discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches of language universals and linguistic typology. Its objective is to give a general view of the different areas of these fields, and their applications. This book attempts to assist those with a goal of delving into the field of linguistics.
