Abstract:

What is the range of diversity in linguistic types, what are the geographical
distributions for the attested types, and what explanations, based on shared
history or universals, can account for these distributions? This collection of
articles by prominent scholars in typology seeks to address these issues from
a wide range of theoretical perspectives, utilizing cutting-edge typological
methodology. The phenomena considered range from the phonological to the
morphosyntactic, the areal coverage ranges in scale from micro-areal to
worldwide, and the types of historical contingency range from contact-based to
genealogical in nature. Together, the papers argue strongly for a view in
which, although they use distinct methodologies, linguistic typology and
historical linguistics are one and the same enterprise directed at discovering
how languages came to be the way they are and how linguistic types came to be
distributed geographically as they are.
