Abstract:

This book presents a state-of-the-art cross-linguistic survey of
applicative constructions in the functional-typological tradition. An
introductory section sets the terminological and analytical stage,
presents the methodology used by the different chapters, and provides
a typological outlook. The individual contributions address the
morphological, syntactic and semantic variation of applicatives, as
well as their discourse-pragmatic function. They cover all major
language families and some isolates that feature some illuminating
version of the phenomenon, paying special attention to
language-internal variation and unity. The phenomena surveyed range
from those instances usually considered canonical (valency-increasing,
syntactically and semantically predictable, productive, dedicated, and
optional) to those occasionally understudied in descriptive works and
frequently neglected in comparative studies (valency-neutral, rather
unpredictable, lexicalized, syncretic, and/or obligatory).
