Typological Studies

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on generative linguistics, Guglielmo Cinque explores typological issues surrounding word order and relative clause syntax. The book is divided into two parts: the first examines word order, while the second delves into relative clauses. Key topics include the relationship between the head and verb positions, cross-linguistic analysis of correlatives, distinctions between sentence-grammar and discourse-grammar in non-restrictive clauses, selective extraction from relative clauses, and a preliminary outline for a comprehensive analysis of various types of relative clauses.
