Using original data from syntactic constructions not previously explored in the language, the author entertains several competing theories of word formation and highlights the compatible and incompatible aspects of each, through an exploration into new corners of Palauan syntax and morphology. The volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the syntax of Palauan that will appeal to anyone interested in Austronesian languages or formal syntactic and morphological theory more generally.Studies in Natural Language and Linguistic Theory,2215-0358 ;92Grammar, Comparative and general—SyntaxLinguisticsAsia—LanguagesSyntaxTheoretical Linguistics / GrammarAsian LanguagesGrammar, Comparative and general—Syntax.Linguistics.Asia—Languages.Syntax.Theoretical Linguistics / Grammar.Asian Languages.410Nuger Justinauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1064887MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910253340703321Building Predicates2541357UNINA
