The handbook Language Typology and Language Universals provides a
comprehensive and thorough survey of our current insights into the
diversity and unity found across the 6000 languages of this
planet. The 125 articles collected in two volumes include inter alia
chapters on the patterns and limits of variation manifested by
analogous structures, constructions and linguistic devices across
languages (e.g. word order, tense and aspect, inflection, color terms
and syllable structure). Other chapters cover the history, methodology
and the theory of typology, as well as the relationship between
language typology and other disciplines.
The authors of the individual sections and chapters are for the most
part internationally known experts on the relevant topics. The vast
majority of the articles are written in English, some in French or
German.
The handbook is not only intended for the expert in the fields of
typology and language universals, but for all of those interested in
linguistics. It is specifically addressed to all those who specialize
in individual languages, providing basic orientation for their
analysis and placing each language within the space of what is
possible and common in the languages of the world.
