Abstract:

The issue of how interpretation results from the form and type of
syntactic structures present in language is one which is central and
hotly debated in both theoretical and descriptive linguistics. This
volume brings together a series of eleven new cutting edge essays by
leading experts in East Asian languages which shows how the study of
formal structures and functional morphemes in Chinese, Japanese and
Korean adds much to our general understanding of the close connections
between form and interpretation. This specially commissioned
collection will be of interest to linguists of all backgrounds working
in the general area of syntax and language change, as well as those
with a special interest in Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

Some Typological Correlates Yen-hui Audrey Liis Professor of
Linguistics and East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of
Southern California. Her research focuses on the comparison of
grammatical properties in English, Chinese and other East Asian
languages. Recent work has considered issues of order and
constituency, scope interaction of quantificational expressions, as
well as the distribution, structure and interpretation of different
types of nominal expressions and relative constructions.  Andrew
Simpsonis a Senior Lecturer at the School of Oriental and African
Studies, University of London. His research interests centre on the
comparative syntax of East and Southeast Asian languages, and his work
addresses issues relating to processes of language change,
DP-structure, the syntax of question formation and the interaction of
syntax with phonology.
