The Formal Grammar of Switch-Reference, Hardback Book

The Formal Grammar of Switch-Reference Hardback

Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Linguistics series

Description

This book studies the syntax of switch-reference and its implications for the theory of grammar.

Switch-reference, found in many genetically and geographically diverse languages, is a phenomenon whereby referential identity between subjects of hierarchically adjacent clauses is encoded by the presence of a morpheme, usually suffixed to the verb of the subordinate clause.

This book argues that switch-reference should be analysed as a syntactic rather than a purely pragmatic or functional feature of language.
