Abstract:

This book is a collection of articles dealing with various aspects of the
Baltic languages (Lithuanian, Latvian and Latgalian), which have only
marginally featured in the discourse of theoretical linguistics and linguistic
typology. The aim of the book is to bridge the gap between the study of the
Baltic languages, on the one hand, and the current agenda of the theoretical
and typological approaches to language, on the other. The book comprises 13
articles dealing with various aspects of phonology, morphology, syntax,
semantics, lexicon, and their interactions, plus a lengthy introduction, whose
aim is to outline the state of the art in the research on the Baltic
languages. The contributions are data-driven, being based on field-work,
corpus research, and data published in the sources not accessible to the
general linguistic audience. On the other hand, all contributions are informed
in the relevant contemporary linguistic theories and in the advances of
linguistic typology. Some of the contributions aim at a more detailed,
accurate and theoretically informed description of the data, others look at
the Baltic material from a more theoretical point of view, still others assume
an areal-typological or contact perspective.
