Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.

This textbook provides a critical introduction to major research topics and
current approaches in linguistic typology, the study of structural variation
in human language and of the limits on that variation. Jae Jung Song draws on
a wide range of cross-linguistic data to describe what linguistic typology has
revealed both about language in general and about the rich variety of ways in
which meaning and expression are achieved in the world's languages. Following
an introduction to the subject matter and its history, the first part of the
book explores theoretical issues and approaches, as well as practical
considerations such as sampling methods and data collection. In the second
part, chapters examine variation in particular phenomena, such as word order,
case alignment, and evidentiality marking. Each chapter concludes with study
questions and suggestions for further reading. The volume will be suitable for
undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of linguistic typology and
language universals, and as secondary reading for cross-linguistically focused
courses in phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics.
