Abstract:
This volume explores the unity of linguistic diversity in ‘Babel’s rubble’ in
the Generative framework, covering a wide range of topics in the various
levels of linguistic analysis, with a particular focus on Georgian and
Kartvelian languages.
The volume groups papers exploring the unity of linguistic diversity (‘Babel’s
rubble’) in the Generative framework. While its empirical contribution ranges
from morphology to semantics, the theoretical thrust of this volume is on
syntax and its interfaces. Topics include primarily diathetic alternations,
the syntax of causatives and the analysis of dative marking, with forays into
ergativity and locative expressions, as well as issues of categorization and
clause structure. All serve to locate and examine the limits of the
interface-driven approach advocated by Generative Linguistics. The originality
of the book resides in the particular combination of topics and the diverse
languages covered, many of which understudied.
The volume has been edited in honor of Prof. Léa Nash.
