African Languages from a Role and Reference Grammar Perspective: Studies on the Syntax-Semantics-Pragmatics Interface
ISBN: 9783110794977 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The volume is a collection of papers which apply Role & Reference Grammar (RRG) to African languages. RRG is a functional theory of syntax which has been developed on the basis of two leading questions: First, how would a syntactic theory look like which starts from ‘exotic’ languages rather than English? Second, how can the interaction between syntax, semantics and pragmatics in different grammatical systems best modelled and explained? Although RRG took linguistic diversity serious from its very beginning, African languages have been underrepresented in the development of the theory....

The Diachronic Development of Modal Expressions in Chinese: From Late Archaic to Middle Chinese
ISBN: 9783110737783 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The present study is the first to apply a syntactic approach to the grammaticalization of Chinese modals, based on hypotheses on cross-linguistic diachronic developments of modals from lexical to functional categories as upward movement on a functional spine. The temporal framework of the study covers Late Archaic and Middle Chinese. Early Middle Chinese is a crucial turning point for the development of Chinese from a more synthetic to a more analytic language. This change is attributed e.g. to the loss of a former morphology, which also affects the modal system. Against this background, the...

Why is 'Why' Unique?: Its Syntactic and Semantic Properties
ISBN: 9783111258706 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why is 'Why' Unique? Its Syntactic and Semantic Properties considers the behaviour of this peculiar wh-element across many different languages, including Ewe, Trevisan, Italian, Basque, German, Dutch, Cantonese, Mandarin, English and Hebrew. In ten original chapters, the authors explore various aspects of why-questions, such as the way why interacts with V2 constructions in Basque, with a subject clitic in Trevisan or how its morpho-syntactic make-up determines its merge position in Ewe, to mention but a few. Furthermore, a clear-cut distinction is established between high and low reason...

The Syntax of Argument Structure: Empirical Advancements and Theoretical Relevance
ISBN: 9783111278483 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bridging theoretical modelling and advanced empirical techniques is a central aim of current linguistic research. The progress in empirical methods contributes to the precise estimation of the properties of linguistic data and promises new ways for justifying theoretical models and testing their implications. The contributions to the present collective volume take up this challenge and focus on the relevance of empirical results achieved through up-to-date methodology for the theoretical analysis and modelling of argument structure. They tackle issues of argument structure from different...

Clausal Complementation in South Slavic
ISBN: 9783111267296 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume assembles contributions addressing clausal complementation across the entire South Slavic territory. The main focus is on particular aspects of complementation, covering the contemporary standard languages as well as older stages and/or non-standard varieties and the impact of language contact, primarily with non-Slavic languages. Presenting in-depth studies, they thus contribute to the overarching collective aim of arriving at a comprehensive picture of the patterns of clausal complementation on which South Slavic languages profile against a wider typological background, but also...

A Grammar of Kunbarlang
ISBN: 9783111274539 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a comprehensive linguistic description of Kunbarlang (Gunbalang), a highly endangered polysynthetic language of northern Australia. Kunbarlang belongs to the non-Pama-Nyungan Gunwinyguan language family and is currently spoken by nearly 40 people. This work draws on elicitations and analysis of narratives from the author's original field work (2015--2018), as well as those from previous recordings. The main areas covered are the sound system, morphology, syntax, and aspects of lexical and constructional semantics. Dictated by the polysynthetic structure of the language and...

Perspectives on Element Theory
ISBN: 9783111262017 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Element Theory (ET) covers a range of approaches that consider privativity a central tenet defining the internal structure of segments. This volume provides an overview and extension of this program, exploring new lines of research within phonology and at its interface (phonetics and syntax). The present collection reflects on issues concerning the definition of privative primes, their interactions, organization, and the operations that constrain phonological and syntactic representations. The contributions reassess theoretical questions, which have been implicitly taken for granted,...

The Grammar of Embosi Verb Phrases
ISBN: 9781527597686 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book describes the morphology and the syntax of the verb phrase (VP) in Embosi, and it highlights the different components of a verb, as well as its relevance for the syntactic description. Embosi has five types of initial prefixes and two types of post initials. Prefixes of the same category are exclusive, whilst two prefixes of different categories can be adjacent. In addition, this book provides a syntagmatic analysis of Embosi VP in keeping with the argument structure. It tackles the dichotomy between unaccusatives, unergatives, ergatives and transitive verbs, and examines syntactic...

Adjunct Islands in English: Theoretical Perspectives and Experimental Evidence
ISBN: 9783111090795 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Island phenomena are a central topic in generative grammar, especially because of principled exceptions to these general extraction constraints. This volume investigates exceptional extractions from phrasal adjunct islands. It argues, based on experimental studies, that several factors identified in the previous literature are uninformative about locality conditions because they show effects in both extraction and non-extraction sentence forms. The volume develops a multifactorial model to account for these effects without appealing to universal extraction conditions and argues that the...
