Abstract:

This book is dedicated to Anna Siewierska, who died, far too young, in 2011.
It contains 15 contributions by 20 linguists who may be counted among the
foremost scholars in the field of linguistic typology. All of these articles
discuss a topic that is prominent in Anna's work, whose journal articles and
monographs on the passive, on word order, and on the category of person are
standard literature in these respective fields. Mindful of Anna's last
monograph, Person, the majority of the contributions in this volume discuss
free and bound person forms, argument indexing, reference tracking systems,
impersonals, and related issues, such as suppletion and incompleteness in
person paradigms, the origin of referential systems, dependent versus
independent marking, and referential hierarchies. Other topics are grammatical
alignment, grammatical voice, ditransitives, and word order. Most of the
contributions take a broad, typological perspective. Others give a more in
depth treatment, based on data from a specific language, notably Spanish,
Russian, Mandinka, and Mohawk. The book contains a complete bibliography of
Anna Siewierska's linguistic production.
