{"product_id":"intransitive-predication","title":"Intransitive Predication","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book investigates cross-linguistic variation in one of the core domains of all natural languages. Leon Stassen views this domain as a 'cognitive space', the topography of which is the same for all languages. It is assumed to consist of four subdomains, which correspond to a four-way distinction between the semantic classes of event predicates, property predicates, class predicates, and locational predicates. The book offers a typology of the structural\n\u003cbr\u003emanifestations of this domain, in terms of the nature and number of the formal strategies used in its encoding. The author disusses a number of abstract principles which can be employed in explaining the\n\u003cbr\u003ecross-linguistic variation emodied by the typology. In the final chapter he brings together the research results in a universally applicable model, which can be read as a 'flow-chart' for the encoding of intransitive predications in different language types.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44082425725166,"sku":"9780199258932","price":123.93,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199258932_99149424-9b0e-4366-bd12-6cfeecb0b043.jpg?v=1706227423","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/intransitive-predication","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
