Focusing on languages outside the traditional Indo-European group, the essays look at Chadic, Somali, Basque, Catalan, Old Romance, Greek, Hungarian, Finnish, Korean, and Quechua. The papers provide interesting new empirical data, as well as a variety of means and alternatives of representing them structurally. At the same time, they address important theoretical questions in the framework of generative theory. This is the first study to apply methods of comparative syntax to the study of topic and focus. 410 0$aOxford studies in comparative sytax. 410 0$aOxford scholarship online. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xTopic and comment 606 $aGenerative grammar 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xTopic and comment. 615 0$aGenerative grammar. 676 $a415 701 $aKiss$b Katalin E$0388639 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955327003321 996 $aDiscourse configurational languages$94470671 997 $aUNINA
