Index of Languages
Index of Terms
The authors and the editors made every attempt to concisely and
accurately translate the linguistic terms without which it modern
American linguistics will not be comprehensible. The reader will
find Russian translations and definitions of such syntactic
terms as "Subjacency Principle", "Spellout", "island constraints",
phonological terms such as "Underspecification Theory", "Onset
Principle", "The OCP", "Optimality Theory", and many others
included in the comprehensive 47-page Russian-English index.
Most of the phenomena discussed are illustrated with Russian
examples.
