Abstract:

Capitalizing on the by now widely accepted idea of the construction-specific
and language-specific nature of grammatical relations, the editors of the
volume developed a modern framework for systematically capturing all sorts of
variations in grammatical relations. The central concepts of this framework
are the notions of argument role and its referential properties, argument
selector, as well as various conditions on argument selections. The
contributors of the volume applied this framework in their descriptions of
grammatical relations in individual languages and discussed its limitations
and advantages. This resulted in a coherent description of grammatical
relations in thirteen genealogically and geographically diverse languages
based on original and extensive fieldwork on under-described languages. The
volume presents a far more detailed picture of the diversity of argument
selectors and effects of predicates, referential properties of arguments, as
well as of various clausal conditions on grammatical relations than previously
published grammatical descriptions.
