M. Rita Manzini, Leonardo M. Savoia

A Unification of Morphology and Syntax (eBook, ePUB)

Investigations into Romance and Albanian Dialects

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This highly original and innovative analysis focuses on the morphosyntax of dialects comprising Italy, Corsica and the Italian and Romansch-speaking areas of Switzerland. The empirical base used in the book includes a wealth of previously unknown or understudied data from a variety of Romansch dialects, whilst the theoretical framework is extremely sophisticated and up-to-date. Linguists of all genres will be fascinated by Manzini and Savoia's radical conclusion: they claim that their work suggests a unification of morphology and syntax.
