Abstract:

The linker introduces ("links") a variety of expressions into the verb phrase,
including locatives, the second object of a double object construction, the
second object of a causative, instruments, subject matter arguments, and
adverbs. This volume collects together Chris Collins's published work on the
linker in the Khoisan languages. Here, Collins offers a systematic description
of the linker in ǂHoã, Ju|'hoan, N|uu, and to a lesser extent !Xoõ and |Xam.
For each language, Collins illustrates various uses of the linker, drawing
attention to cross-linguistic generalizations as well as to variation between
the languages. The work presented in this volume should be of interest to
researchers working in a wide variety of syntactic frameworks on different
languages of the world.
