{"product_id":"canonical-morphology-and-syntax","title":"Canonical Morphology and Syntax","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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. In this way, the issue of fit becomes a matter of greater or lesser proximity to a canonical ideal. Drawing on the expertise of\n\u003cbr\u003eworld class scholars in the field, the book addresses the issue of cross-linguistic comparability, illustrates the range of areas - from morphosyntactic features to reported speech - to which linguists\n\u003cbr\u003eare currently applying this methodology, and explores to what degree the approach succeeds in discovering the elusive canon of linguistic phenomena.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156305146094,"sku":"9780199604326","price":298.57,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199604326.jpg?v=1706209433","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/canonical-morphology-and-syntax","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
