The papers in this  volume encompass some of these traditional questions and place them in  newer theoretical contexts. Some of the papers also address new issues  which add to our understanding of members of this language family on  one side and the nature of linguistic theories on the other. There are  three broad issues that re-occur throughout the volume - the  role and analysis of verbal morphology, the nature of the subject or  the topic in these languages, and the interaction of syntax and  specificity. The papers in this volume show that as formal theories  become more precise, a wider range of language data can be captured,  and as the inventory of language data grows, the accuracy of formal  linguistic theories improves.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 November 1999\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780792360681\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e265\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50803392872588,"sku":"9780792360681","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792360681.jpg?v=1781751564","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792360681","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
