Language Typology and Syntactic Description
Language Typology and Syntactic Description
This three-volume survey brings together a team of leading scholars to explore the syntactic and morphological structures of the world's languages. Clearly organized and broad-ranging, it covers topics such as parts-of-speech, passives, complementation, relative clauses, adverbial clauses, inflectional morphology, tense, aspect, mood, and diexis. The contributors look at the major ways that these notions are realized, and provide informative sket…
Parts-of-speech systems
Introduction Parts of speech is the traditional term for the major classes of words that are grammatically distinguished in a language. While all languages make parts-of-speech distinctions, there are rather striking differences between languages with regard to both the kind and the number of such distinctions that they make. A field worker investigating an unfamiliar language may therefore find it useful to know what generalizations can be made …

Children's acquisition of Warlpiri
Comprehension test results from children acquiring Warlpiri as a first language in the Yuendumu community indicate that the canonical transitive sentence is one with an ergative-absolutive verb. We hypoth- esize that the acquisition process is influenced by a number of properties of the language, properties including the presence of homophonous forms for some of the case endings, the use of three different case frames, the optional ellipsis of co…
