(Empirical Approaches to Language Typology 7)
The history of word class research is characterised by two extreme
positions. Up to the 19th century it was believed that word classes
were invariably of the Latin or Greek type and universal. In contrast
to that, in the 20th century the view prevailed that every language
had its own specific and unique word class system. In the last
decades, however, it has become apparent that despite the large number
of word classes and word-class systems there are typological
restrictions with regard to the conceptualisation of semantic features
and morphosyntactic structures.
This book approaches word classes and their categorial manifestations
from the perspective of typology and language universals research. The
authors in this volume discuss word class categorisation in general
(Part I) as well as word classes and word class systems of individual
languages (Part II) from a typological-universal viewpoint and from
diachronic and cross-linguistic perspectives.
This book will be of interest to scholars interested in linguistic
typology, grammaticalization theories, morphology, syntax and
semantics.
