The Linker in the Khoisan Languages PDF
by Chris Collins
Part of the Oxford Studies in Comparative Syntax series
Description
The linker introduces ("links") a variety of expressions into the verb phrase, including locatives, the second object of a double object construction, the second object of a causative, instruments, subject matter arguments, and adverbs.
This volume collects together Chris Collins's published work on the linker in the Khoisan languages.
Here, Collins offers a systematic description of the linker in ?Ho?, Ju|'hoan, N|uu, and to a lesser extent !Xo? and |Xam. For each language, Collins illustrates various uses of the linker, drawing attention to cross-linguistic generalizations as well as to variation between the languages.
The work presented in this volume should be of interest to researchers working in a wide variety of syntactic frameworks on different languages of the world.
