The Morphology and Syntax of Topic and Focus: Minimalist Inquiries in the Quechua Periphery (Linguistik Aktuell / Linguistics Today, 169, Band 169) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book presents an innovative analysis that relates informational structure, syntax and morphology in Quechua. It provides a minimalist account of the relationship between focus, topic, evidentiality and other left-peripheral features and sentence-internal constituents marked with suffixes that have been previously considered of a pragmatic nature. Intervention effects show that these relationships are also of a syntactic nature. The analysis is extended to morphological markers that appear on polarity sensitive items and wh-words. The book also provides a brief overview of the main characteristics of Quechua syntax as well as additional bibliographical information.
