{"product_id":"applicative-constructions-in-the-worlds-fernando-zuniga-9783110735482","title":"Applicative Constructions in the World's Languages","description":"This book presents a state-of-the-art cross-linguistic survey of applicative constructions in the functional-typological tradition. An introductory section sets the terminological and analytical stage, presents the methodology used by the different chapters, and provides a typological outlook. The individual contributions address the morphological, syntactic and semantic variation of applicatives, as well as their discourse-pragmatic function. They cover all major language families and some isolates that feature some illuminating version of the phenomenon, paying special attention to language-internal variation and unity. The phenomena surveyed range from those instances usually considered canonical (valency-increasing, syntactically and semantically predictable, productive, dedicated, and optional) to those occasionally understudied in descriptive works and frequently neglected in comparative studies (valency-neutral, rather unpredictable, lexicalized, syncretic, and\/or obligatory).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernando Zuniga\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110735482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110735482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 2.25d","brand":"Fernando Zuniga","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46110814011647,"sku":"9783110735482","price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4b45517c-e4d4-44b3-b033-7f677d868f44.jpg?v=1725469857","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/applicative-constructions-in-the-worlds-fernando-zuniga-9783110735482","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
