Více o knize

Focusing on the interplay between semantics, syntax, and morphology, this work presents a compelling argument for a unified theory of number in Universal Grammar. Through detailed analysis of unique data, the author demonstrates that a shared feature set underlies both semantic and morphological number phenomena, with syntax serving as the bridge. Central to the study is an innovative exploration of Kiowa, a North American language noted for its intriguing noun classification and intricate agreement morphology, highlighting its significance in linguistic research.
