Canonical morphology and syntax [electronic resource] / edited by Dunstan Brown, Marina Chumakina, Greville G. Corbett. Brown, Dunstan. Chumakina, Marina. Corbett, Greville G. Grammar, Comparative and general Syntax. Grammar, Comparative and general Morphology. P291 415 23 Includes bibliographical references and index. Description based on print version record. This book presents 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.
