Opis

Balancing between grammar and lexicon, adpositions are a fascinating category showing tremendous intra- and interlinguistic diversity and a great potential for synchronic variation and diachronic innovation. The contributions of this volume take advantage of the multifaceted nature of adpositions to put theories of language contact to the test and to redefine their predictions regarding the borrowing of linguistic matter and patterns.
