Its Principles and Its Parameters

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In Case, Mark Baker presents a unified theory of morphological case, one of the most important ways that languages indicate a noun phrase's function in a sentence. It includes the first full-length study of dependent case assignment. The ideas are richly illustrated with data from more than twenty unrelated languages.
