  • Topics in Kwa Syntax

    Edited by Enoch O. Aboh, James Essegbey ...
    Series Book 78 - Studies in Natural Language and Linguistic Theory
    This book grew out of a concern we have had that very many theoretical and descriptive work on the Kwa languages were not accessible to the general linguistic community. As a result, these languages were only referred to in the context of very specific discussions such as serial verb constructions. But as the reader of this book will notice, syntactic topics discussed in the context of Kwa range ... Read more

In-depth analyses of word order phenomena as well as diachronic and typological ... Read more

  • Different Kinds of Specificity Across Languages

    Series series Social Sciences (R0)
    This anthology of papers analyzes a range of specificity markers found in natural languages. It reflects the fact that despite intensive research into these markers, the vast differences between the markers across languages and even within single languages have been less acknowledged. Commonly regarded specific indefinites are by no means a homogenous class, and so this volume fills a gap in our ... Read more

    The Articulation of VP

    Series Book 80 - Studies in Natural Language and Linguistic Theory
    Finishing this book was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. It took far too long from original idea to page proofs and suffered from being relegated to small corners of my life. It was very rarely on the front burner. Since I started working on this topic in 1991, there has been a lot of interesting work done on the areas of the articulation of VP, phrase structure mirroring event ... Read more
