[Lingtyp] Emergence of word-class systems

[Jan Rijkhoff]

Dear all,

here is some more food for thought about relationships between major word classes (both attached):

- Rijkhoff, Jan. 2000 (reprint 2012). When can a language have adjectives? An implicational
universal. In Petra M. Vogel and Bernard Comrie (eds.), Approaches to the typology of word classes (Empirical Approaches to Language Typology [EALT] 23), 217-258. Berlin and New York: Mouton de Gruyter.

- Rijkhoff, Jan. 2003. When can a language have nouns and verbs? Acta Linguistica Hafniensia 35, 7-38.

Best, Jan R

I may be allowed to recommend this article:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/267767933_The_nature_of_parts_of_speech
If one believes ResearchGate, it has been my second most-read work in the past few years, so there may be some merit to it.
