Description:
Using different theoretical approaches and frameworks, this book addresses a broad range of themes in contrastive linguistics, including inflection, derivation and compounding, tense, wh-questions, post-verbal subjects, focus, and clitics, among others. Looking at English, German, Spanish, Slavic languages and South Pacific languages, the book highlights the significance of the contrastive perspective for language-specific description and general interface issues, casting light on contrasts between languages at the levels of morphology and syntax. Each chapter compares two or more languages and makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of language typology and language universals.
