The central questions for any given language are: (a) How do singular and plural imposters agree with the verb? (b) When a pronoun has an imposter antecedent, what are the phi-features of the pronoun? The volume reveals a remarkable degree of variation in the answers to these questions, but also reveals some underlying generalizations. The contributions describe imposters in Bangla, Spanish, Albanian, Indonesian, Italian, French, Romanian, Mandarin and Icelandic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Collins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199336865\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199336869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OUP Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Chris Collins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47202107719935,"sku":"9780199336869","price":51.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6d68c41f-7d8e-4eea-ade3-2f006584a925.jpg?v=1756819663","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cross-linguistic-studies-of-imposters-and-chris-collins-9780199336869","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
