Leading scholars look from a range of perspectives at how finiteness is conceived in formal and functional theories of grammar; at its cross-linguistic manifestations; at the finite/nonfinite opposition in individual languages; and at the role of finiteness in linguistic change and linguistic development. The book is written and structured to appeal to scholars and. students of syntax and general linguistics at graduate level and above. - ;This book explores the nature of finiten 410 0$aOxford linguistics. 606 $aFiniteness (Linguistics) 610 1 $aFiniteness 615 0$aFiniteness (Linguistics) 676 $a410 701 $aNikolaeva$b Irina$0518319 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777822403321 996 $aFiniteness$93762575 997 $aUNINA
