• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Based on a case study in field-based comparative psycholinguistics, this pioneering book is the first to explore the neurocognition of endangered 'object-before-subject languages', such as Kaqchikel and Seediq. It is essential reading for researchers and students in psycholinguistics, syntactic theory, linguistic typology and linguistic fieldwork.
