Abstract:

Editor's note: This is a new version of a previously announced title.

This book represents the first comprehensive examination of templatic
constructions - namely, linguistic structures involving unexpected linear
stipulation - in both morphology and syntax from a typological perspective. It
provides a state-of-the-art overview of the previous literature, develops a
new typology for categorizing templatic constructions across grammatical
domains, and examines their cross-linguistic variation by employing
cutting-edge computational methods. It will be of interest to descriptive
linguists seeking to gain a better sense of the diversity of the world's
templatic constructions, theoretical linguists developing restrictive models
of possible templates, and typologists interested in the attested range of
patterns of linear stipulation and the application of new kinds of
multivariate methods to cross-linguistic data. The new typological framework
is illustrated in detail via a number of case studies involving languages of
Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas, and numerous other templatic
constructions are also considered over the course of the book.
   

1. Defining template; 2. A typological description language for templates; 3.
Typologizing templates: case studies; 4. Typologizing templates: comparison;
5. Moving forward.
