There is also a discussion on methodological issues in typology. This textbook is the first introduction that consistently applies the findings of the World Atlas of Language Structures, systematically includes pidgin and creole languages and devotes a section to sign languages in each chapter. All chapters contain numerous illustrative examples and specific featur 606 $aTypology (Linguistics) 606 $aLinguistic universals 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTypology (Linguistics) 615 0$aLinguistic universals. 676 $a415 700 $aVelupillai$b Viveka$f1974-$0885962 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465411303321 996 $aAn introduction to linguistic typology$92043762 997 $aUNINA
