Radical Construction Grammar: Syntactic Theory in Typological Perspective (Oxford linguistics) by William Croft
2001 | ISBN: 0198299547 | English | 444 Pages | PDF | 12 MB
This book is based on the results of research in language typology, and motivated by the need for a theory to explain them. Croft proposes intimate links between syntactic and semantic structures, and argues that the basic elements of any language are not syntactic but rather syntactic-semantic "Gestalts." He puts forward a new approach to syntactic representation and a new model of how language and languages work.
