Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
This volume explores how linguistic theories inform the ways in which languages are
described. Theories, as representations of linguistic categories, guide the field
linguist to look for various phenomena without presupposing their necessary existence
and provide the tools to account for various sets of data across different languages.
A goal of linguistic description is to represent the full range of language structures
for any given language. The chapters in this book cover various sub-disciplines of
linguistics including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, language
acquisition, and anthropological linguistics, drawing upon theoretical approaches
such as prosodic Phonology, Enhancement theory, Distributed Morphology, Minimalist
syntax, Lexical Functional Grammar, and Kinship theory. The languages described in
this book include Australian languages (Pama-Nyungan and non-Pama-Nyungan), Romance
languages as well as English. This volume will be of interest to researchers in both
descriptive and theoretical linguistics
