by Stephen (, Yale University) Anderson
Part of the Oxford Studies in Theoretical Linguistics series
Hardback
- Information
Description
This is the first book to cover the grammar of clitics from all points of view, including their phonology and syntax and relation to morphology.
In the process, it deals with the relation of second position clitics to verb-second phenomena in Germanic and other languages, the grammar of contracted auxiliary verbs in English, noun incorporation constructions, and several other much discussed topics in grammar.
Stephen Anderson includes analyses of a number of particular languages, and some of these - such as Kwakw'ala ("Kwakiutl") and Surmiran Rumantsch - are based on his own field research.
The study of clitics has broad implications for a general understanding of sentence structure in natural language.
Stephen Anderson's clearly-written, wide-ranging, and original account will be of wide interest to scholars and advanced students of phonology, morphology, and syntax.
