Typology and Universals
Second Edition
William Croft, University of Manchester
The second edition of this essential textbook has been thoroughly
rewritten and updated to reflect advances in typology and universals
over the past decade. It reviews new methodologies such as the
semantic map model and questions of syntactic argumentation;
discussion of current debates over explanations for specific classes
of universals; and comparison of the typological and generative
approaches to language.
Contents:
1. Introduction
2. Typological classification
3. Implicational universals and competing motivations
4. Grammatical categories: typological markedness
5. Grammatical hierarchies and the semantic map model
6. Prototypes and the interaction of typological patterns
7. Syntactic argumentation and syntactic structure in typology
8. Diachronic typology
9. Typology as an approach to language

Word
A Cross-linguistic Typology
Editor
R.M.W. Dixon, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia
Alexandra Y. Aikhenvald, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia
A distinguished international group of scholars analyze the concept of
"word" and its applicability in a range of typologically diverse
languages. The languages include Amazonian, Australian Aboriginal,
Eskimo, Native North American, West African, Balkan, Caucasian and
Indo-Pakistani Sign Language. They exhibit a great range of
phonological, morphological and grammatical characteristics, enabling
the contributors to refine the definition of a "word" against this
broad linguistic landscape. The book is of interest to scholars of
linguistic typology and of morphology.
