This enables linguistic structures to be minimalised, and for extra-linguistic domains to provide much of the interpretations of sound and meaning. Underspecification is demonstrated in the word formation of Indo-European, Late Archaic Chinese and modern Khmer; on the word- and sentence levels by the event structures of German; and in the information structure predominantly of languages with the so-called free word order: German, Slavic languages, Arabic compared with English and the tonLanguage, context, and cognition ;v. 8.Underspecification (Linguistics)Grammar.Information structure.word formation.Underspecification (Linguistics)410ER 950rvkSteube Anita710810MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782789603321The discourse potential of underspecified structures3755043UNINA
