Description
The Cambridge Handbook of Comparative Syntax is an authoritative reference work that surveys the landscape of comparative syntactic research. Edited by leading syntacticians Sjef Barbiers, Norbert Corver, and Maria Polinsky, this handbook brings together contributions from prominent linguists examining syntactic phenomena across typologically diverse languages.
The volume covers fundamental topics in comparative syntax including word order variation, clause structure, argument structure, and movement phenomena. Each chapter provides detailed analysis of how different languages organize grammatical information and structure their sentences. The handbook addresses both theoretical frameworks and empirical data, making it valuable for understanding universal principles of human language as well as documented cross-linguistic variation.
This work serves as an essential resource for syntacticians, linguists, and advanced students seeking comprehensive coverage of comparative syntax research and methodology.
