Sommario/riassunto |
|
Jeff Mielke presents the results of a crosslinguistic survey of natural classes of distinctive features covering almost 600 of the world's languages drawn from a variety of different families. In doing so he systematically tests the supposition that features are innate and universal rather than learned and language-specific. |
