Abstract:
Using data from a variety of languages such as Blackfoot, Halkomelem, and
Upper Austrian German, this book explores a range of grammatical categories
and constructions, including tense, aspect, subjunctive, case and
demonstratives. It presents a new theory of grammatical categories - the
Universal Spine Hypothesis - and reinforces generative notions of Universal
Grammar while accommodating insights from linguistic typology. In essence,
this new theory shows that language-specific categories are built from a small
set of universal categories and language-specific units of language.
Throughout the book the Universal Spine Hypothesis is compared to two
alternative theories - the Universal Base Hypothesis and the No Base
Hypothesis. This valuable addition to the field will be welcomed by graduate
students and researchers in linguistics.
