Abstract:
This is the first book to present Canonical Typology, a framework for
comparing constructions and categories across languages. The canonical method
takes the criteria used to define particular categories or phenomena (eg
negation, finiteness, possession) to create a multidimensional space in which
language-specific instances can be placed. In this way, the issue of fit
becomes a matter of greater or lesser proximity to a canonical ideal. Drawing
on the expertise of world class scholars in the field, the book addresses the
issue of cross-linguistic comparability, illustrates the range of areas - from
morphosyntactic features to reported speech - to which linguists are currently
applying this methodology, and explores to what degree the approach succeeds
in discovering the elusive canon of linguistic phenomena.
Linguistic Field(s): Morphology
