Abstract:
This collective volume by the Language Typology Workshop of the St. Petersburg
Institute for Linguistic Studies (Russian Academy of Sciences) addresses taxis
(relative tense) constructions in languages of different structure. It
continues the Workshop’s earlier studies under a general research program
launched in the 1960s and focused on the grammatical verb categories related
to the semantic and syntactic structure of the sentence. The Workshop’s
earlier publications in English include: Nedjalkov V. P. (ed.). Typology of
Resultative Constructions. Amsterdam, 1988; Xrakovskij V. S. (ed.). Typology
of Iterative Constructions, LINCOM, München, 1997; Xrakovskij V. S. (ed.).
Typology of Imperative Constructions. LINCOM München, 2001; Xrakovskij V. S.
(ed.). Typology of Conditional Constructions. LINCOM, München, 2005; Nedjalkov
V. P. (ed.). Reciprocal Constructions. Amsterdam; Philadelphia, 2007; and
Xrakovskij V. S. (ed.). Typology of Concessive Constructions. LINCOM, München,
2012. This volume consists of two parts and an appendix.
Part 1 provides a background on taxis studies and sets forth the underlying
theoretical concept. The proposed theoretical concept makes it possible to
describe taxis constructions in a form that allows to demonstrate both their
common (above all, semantic) properties and typological (above all,
grammatical) differences between both related and unrelated languages. The
concept establishes a typology of taxis verb forms, provides a
characterization of prototypical and peripheral taxis constructions, and
proposes calculi for taxis meanings and taxis constructions.
Part 2 consists of two sections and 20 chapters on taxis constructions in
various languages. The descriptions are to a large extent uniform as they are
based on a common questionnaire.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
