Canonical Morphology and Syntax

ISBN: 9780199604326 出版年：2013 页码：327 Oxford University Press

This is the first book to present Canonical Typology, a framework for comparing constructions and categories across languages. The canonical method takes the criteria used to define particular categories or phenomena (eg negation, finiteness, possession) to create a multidimensional space in which language-specific instances can be placed.
