Book Synopsis On Diversity and Complexity of Languages Spoken in Europe and North and Central Asia by : Pirkko Suihkonen
Download or read book On Diversity and Complexity of Languages Spoken in Europe and North and Central Asia written by Pirkko Suihkonen. This book was released on 2014-12-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The languages of Europe and North and Central Asia provide a rich variety of data. In this volume, some articles are summaries of large areal typological research projects, and some articles focus on structures or constructions in a single language. However, it is common to all the articles that they investigate phenomena that have not been examined previously, or they apply a new framework to a topic. The volume will be of interest to scholars with a focus on this broad geographic region, typologists, historical linguists and discourse analysts. The uniqueness of this volume is that it brings together work on a genetically diverse set of languages that have some shared areal traits.
