Description

This scholarly work presents rigorous and criterial definitions of major parts of speech-noun, verb, and adjective-accounting for both syntactic behaviour and typological variation across languages. Drawing on examination of Salishan, Cora, Quechua, Totonac, and Hausa language groups, the book argues that parts of speech must combine syntactic markedness criteria, which characterises lexical classes through unmarked syntactic roles, with semantic prototypicality that delimits their prototypical meanings. The analysis demonstrates how adjectives function within these frameworks, offering linguists and scholars a comprehensive theoretical foundation for understanding cross-linguistic patterns in grammatical categorisation and language structure.

Key Features

Rigorous definitions of noun, verb, and adjective parts of speech with syntactic and semantic criteria.

Typological analysis based on five language groups: Salishan, Cora, Quechua, Totonac, and Hausa.

Combines syntactic markedness and semantic prototypicality to explain lexical class behaviour.

Used book in good condition from Routledge's Outstanding Dissertations in Linguistics series.

Addresses observed cross-linguistic variation in how parts of speech function across different languages.
