Aspect and Meaning in Slavic and Indic

ISBN-13: 9789027235459 / Angielski

Opis

This volume looks closely at the language family, Slavic, that has been the main source of assumptions and data about aspect. It also looks upon the object of linguistic study, natural language, from an angle shared by thinkers on language whose prominence is still outside linguistics: Wittgenstein, Bakhtin and Derrida. Finally, the exploratory and contrastive account of aspect in Indic is sudied, chiefly in Bengali, which will no doubt evoke reactions from experts in these languages.
