This book presents the first large-scale analysis of demonstratives from a cross-linguistic and diachronic perspective. It is based on a representative sample of 85 languages. The first part of the book analyzes demonstratives from a synchronic point of view, examining their morphological structures, semantic features, syntactic functions, and pragmatic uses in spoken and written discourse. The second part concentrates on diachronic issues, in particular on the development ofTypological studies in language ;v. 42.Grammar, Comparative and generalDemonstrativesMorphologySemanticsGrammar, Comparative and generalSyntaxPragmaticsGrammar, Comparative and generalDemonstratives.Morphology.Semantics.Grammar, Comparative and generalSyntax.Pragmatics.415Diessel Holger498564MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910969936203321Demonstratives4374363UNINA
