Comparative Syntax of Balkan Languages (Oxford Studies in Comparative Syntax)

by Maria Luisa Rivero

Comparative Syntax of Balkan Languages (Oxford Studies in Comparative Syntax) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This collection of seven papers studies important aspects of the syntax of Albanian, Bulgarian, Greek, and Rumanian from a comparative perspective based on current linguistic frameworks, including the Minimalist Program. Topics addressed include control, raising, and obviation, negation, noun phrase structure, clitic pronouns, and verb movement.

Review:

"As a whole, the volume is a welcome addition to the rapidly growing literature on Balkan syntax and on comparative syntax more generally. The articles are almost uniformly excellent, and the book is carefully edited. This is a worthy addition to Oxford's series of Studies in comparative syntax and is definitely recommended reading for anyone interested in syntactic typology."--language
