In Preterit Expansion and Perfect Demise in Porteno Spanish and Beyond, Guro Nore Flogstad offers an original account of the way in which the Preterit category has expanded, at the expense of the Perfect, in Porteno Spanish - a variety spoken in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Through primary sources and a large cross-linguistic sample, Flogstad convincingly shows that the expansion of a Preterit is not rare in the languages of the world. This finding challenges the prevailing view in historical morphosyntax, and especially in usage-based grammaticalization theory, namely the alleged...

Classical Greek Syntax: Wackernagel's Law in Herodotus
ISBN: 9789004242975 / Angielski / Twarda / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Classical Greek Syntax: Wackernagel's Law in Herodotus, David Goldstein offers the first theoretically-informed study of second-position clitics in Ancient Greek and challenges the long-standing belief that Greek word order is ‟free" or beyond the reach of systematic analysis. On the basis of Herodotus' Histories, he demonstrates that there are in fact systematic correspondences between clause structure and meaning. Crucial to this new model of the Greek clause is Wackernagel's Law, the generalization that enclitics and postpositives occur in ‟second position," as these...
