{"product_id":"grammatical-borrowing-in-cross-linguistic-perspective-yaron-matras-9783110196283","title":"Grammatical Borrowing in Cross-Linguistic Perspective","description":"\u003cp\u003e The book contains 30 descriptive chapters dealing with a specific language contact situation. The chapters follow a uniform organisation format, being the narrative version of a standard comprehensive questionnaire previously distributed to all authors. The questionnaire targets systematically the possibility of contact influence \/ grammatical borrowing in a full range of categories. The uniform structure facilitates a comparison among the chapters and the languages covered. The introduction describes the setup of the questionnaire and the methodology of the approach, along with a survey of the difficulties of sampling in contact linguistics. Two evaluative chapters, each authored by one of the co-editors, draws general conclusions from the volume as a whole (one in relation to borrowed grammatical categories and meaningful hierarchies, the other in relation to the distribution of Matter and Pattern replication).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yaron Matras\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 311019628X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110196283\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 12\/19\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2008 pg. 284","brand":"Yaron Matras","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983455027455,"sku":"9783110196283","price":188.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_adcca91f-0cb8-4796-9078-33710d5f09ac.jpg?v=1683266745","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/grammatical-borrowing-in-cross-linguistic-perspective-yaron-matras-9783110196283","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
