Abstract:

This collection of papers brings together the most recent crosslinguistic
research on the syntax of verb-initial languages. Authors with a variety of
theoretical perspectives pursue the questions of how verb-initial order is
derived, and how these derivations play into the characteristic syntax of
these languages. Major themes in the volume include the role of syntactic
category in languages with verb-initial order; the different mechanisms of
deriving V-initial order; and the universal correlates of the order. This
book should be of interest to scholars who work on theoretical approaches
to word order derivation, typologists, and those who work on the particular
grammars of Celtic, Zapotec, Mixtec, Polynesian, Austronesian, Mayan,
Salish, Aboriginal, and Nilotic languages.
