Basing his central argument on the claim that inversion is a linguistic representation of a Ground-before-Figure model, the author develops an elegant solution to a hitherto unsolved multidimensional linguistic puzzle and, in the process, supports the theoretical position that a cognitive approach best suits the multidimensionality of language itself. Engagingly written, the book will appeal to linguists of all persuasions and to any reader curious about the relationship between language and cognition. 606 $aEnglish language$xWord order 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xWord order 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish language$xWord order. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xWord order. 676 $a425 700 $aChen$b Rong$f1955-$01056065 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464103903321 996 $aEnglish inversion$92490121 997 $aUNINA
