Abstract:

Bringing together a globally representative team of scholars, this
Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of comparative syntax, the
study of universal and variable properties of the structure of
building blocks in natural language. Divided into four thematic parts,
it covers the various theoretical and methodological approaches to
syntactic variation; explores dependency relations and dependency
marking; shows how the building blocks of syntax both vary and display
universal properties across languages, and explores the interfaces
between syntax and other aspects of language structure. It also
includes examples from a typologically broad range of languages, as
well as data from child language, sign language, language processing,
and diachronic syntax, giving a clear picture of the ubiquity of
cross-linguistic variation. It serves as a source of inspiration for
future research, and forges a deeper understanding of the variant and
invariant parts of language, making it essential reading for
researchers and students in linguistics.
