Subject:  Syntax: The Serial Verb Construction Parameter by Stewart

Osamuyimen Thompson Stewart, University of British Columbia,
THE SERIAL VERB CONSTRUCTION PARAMETER

architecture and syntactic variation.  The analysis is drawn on
extensive empirical evidence drawn from analysis of Kwa languages in
West Africa such as Edo, Yoruba, and Igboas. Outstanding Dissertations
in Linguistics series.
