The Linker in the Khoisan Languages Hardback
by Chris (Professor of Linguistics, Professor of Linguistics, New York University) Collins
Part of the Oxford Studies in Comparative Syntax series
Hardback
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 ?Hoã, Ju|'hoan, N|uu, and to a lesser extent !Xoõ 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.
