A Structural Approach to Language Typology - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book presents a structural and analytical way to examine, describe and compare languages.

We will analyse the basic structure, the skeletons of languages, starting with phonemes and syllables and ending with sentence structures, without the interference of all the tiny peculiarities of all this worlds’ languages – no matter how fascinating they may be! – so as to get a clear and transparant typological model.

This versatile model will then be applied to 10 languages from 6 language families in 4 continents, leaving space for adaption to specific research needs.
