Description

Explore the groundbreaking framework of Canonical Typology with this essential text from Oxford University Press. As the first book to present this method, it offers a new way to compare constructions and categories across diverse languages. By using specific criteria to define phenomena such as negation, finiteness, and possession, the text creates a multidimensional space for analyzing language-specific instances. This work addresses the fundamental challenge of cross-linguistic comparability. Instead of binary classifications, it views the fit of a language feature as a matter of proximity to a canonical ideal. Featuring contributions from world class scholars, this book provides a rigorous approach to understanding how morphological and syntactic categories function within the field of linguistics.
