Das Buch bietet den ersten Versuch weitere melanesische Sprachen neben der Fidschisprache n盲her zu untersuchen und die Verwandtschaftsbeziehungen der melanesischen Sprachen unter sich und zu den polynesischen Sprachen zu erforschen. Die Ermittlung des grammatikalischen Charakters der Sprachen und Dialekte, der weit 眉ber einen reinen Vergleich der W枚rter hinausgeht, ist hierf眉r zentral.

Samuel J. Evans wrote this 5th edition of his short grammar on Welsh in 1908. Originally this work was intended as a textbook for pupils and students.

The chapter on syntax includes word
Twenty-one linguistic families are counted in California. The authors conducted a vocabulary study to examine and structure these families in more detail. About two hundred and twenty-five English words were selected and compared with the known native equivalents to determine all similarities. Soon some similarities between almost all twenty-one tribes became apparent, and as the comparative vocabulary was completed, the number of similarities had become considerable. One group contained the int

An argument for replacing Chomsky鈥檚 set-theoretic Merge view of syntax with a theory of syntax based on mereological objects.
Mereology is the study of parthood鈥攚hat it means for one thing to be part of another. David Adger argues that a theory of syntax based on mereological objects should replace Chomsky鈥檚 set-theoretic Merge view of syntax. He shows how this new perspective solves some of the problems that have bedeviled minimalism, while opening a path to a unified approach to islands, on
