Morphology and Universals in Syntactic Change (eBook, PDF)

Evidence from Medieval and Modern Greek

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book, first published in 1990, is a study of both the specific syntactic changes in the more recent stages of Greek and of the nature of syntactic change in general. Guided by the constraints and principles of Universal Grammar, this hypothesis of this study allows for an understanding of how these changes in Greek syntax occurred and so provides insight into the mechanism of syntactic change. This title will be of interest to students of language and linguistics.
