Märksõnad:
Using different theoretical approaches and frameworks, this book addresses a broad range of themes in contrastive linguistics, including inflection, derivation and compounding, tense, wh-questions, post-verbal subjects, focus and clitics, among others. Comparing English, German, Greek, Romance, Slavic and South Pacific languages, the book highlights the significance of the contrastive perspective for language-specific description and general interface issues, casting light on contrasts between languages at the levels of morphology and syntax. In this respect, it makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of language typology and language universals.

Arvustused

For those who want to know how languages differ, this book offers a delightful overview of the current thinking in several fields of grammatical research and different frameworks. An impressive coverage of phenomena, languages and approaches and plenty of insightful reflections about the roots of variation between languages that are seriously relevant for typologists, theoretical linguists and anyone interested in cross-linguistic research. * Stavros Skopeteas, Professor of General Linguistics, Georg-August University of Göttingen, Germany * Taking a contrastive linguistic perspective on a variety of morphological and syntactic phenomena cross-linguistically, this volume brings together fifteen compelling studies by a host of leading scholars. Collectively and individually, they make for fascinating and enlightening reading! * Brian D. Joseph, Distinguished University Professor of Linguistics, The Ohio State University, USA * This is an excellent collection of papers that makes a significant contribution to the field of contrastive linguistics ... I find the best aspect of this volume is that most of the papers discuss new data from an alternative perspective that will probably pave the way for future studies with a focus on different languages. * Languages in Contrast *
