ISBN: 9780199588244 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book considers how and why forms and meanings of different languages at different times may resemble one another.

Multi-verb Constructions: A View from the Americas
ISBN: 9789004194526 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. One of the most complex topics in the study of the indigenous languages of the Americas, and indeed in the study of any language set, is the complex behaviour of multi-verb constructions. In many languages, several verbs can co-occur in a sentence, forming a single predicate. This book contains a first survey of such constructions in languages of North, Middle, and South America. Though it is not a systematic typological survey, the combined insights from the various chapters give a very rich perspective on this phenomenon, involving a host of typologically diverse constructions, including...

The Web of Knowledge: Evidentiality at the Cross-Roads
ISBN: 9789004466418 / Angielski / Miękka / 2021 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Knowledge can be expressed in language using a plethora of grammatical means. Four major groups of meanings related to knowledge are Evidentiality: grammatical expression of information source; Egophoricity: grammatical expression of access to knowledge; Mirativity: grammatical expression of expectation of knowledge; and Epistemic modality: grammatical expression of attitude to knowledge. The four groups of categories interact. Some develop overtones of the others. Evidentials stand apart from other means in many ways, including their correlations with speech genres and social environment....

The Oxford Handbook of Evidentiality
ISBN: 9780198759515 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 720 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume offers a thorough, systematic, and crosslinguistic account of evidentiality, the linguistic encoding of the source of information on which a statement is based. In some languages, the speaker always has to specify this source - for example whether they saw the event, heard it, inferred it based on visual evidence or common sense, or was told about it by someone else. While not all languages have obligatory marking of this type, every language has ways of referring to information source and associated epistemological meanings. The continuum of epistemological expressions covers a...

ISBN: 9780199660223 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Possession and Ownership brings together linguists and anthropologists in a series of cross-linguistic explorations of expressions used to denote possession and ownership, concepts central to most if not all the varied cultures and ideologies of humankind. Possessive noun phrases can be broadly divided into three categories - ownership of property, whole-part relations (such as body and plant parts), and blood and affinal kinship relations. As Professor Aikhenvald shows in her extensive opening essay, the same possessive noun or pronoun phrase is used in English and in many other...
