Classifiers : A Typology of Noun Categorization Devices PDF
by Alexandra Y. Aikhenvald
Part of the Oxford Studies in Typology and Linguistic Theory series
- Information
Description
Almost all languages have some ways of categorizing nouns.
Languages of South-East Asia have classifiers used with numerals, while most Indo-European languages have two or three genders.
They can have a similar meaning and one can develop from the other.
This book provides a comprehensive and original analysis of noun categorization devices all over the world.
It will interest typologists, those working in the fields of morphosyntactic variation and lexicalsemantics, as well as anthropologists and all other scholars interested in the mechanisms of human cognition.
