Publisher Synopsis
"Miyagawa goes straight to the heart of the crucial questions of linguistics: how are natural human languages the same, and in what ways can they be different? To see how he compares and substantially unifies the syntax of case-marking, head-final languages like Japanese, with agreement-rich, head-initial languages, like English and Bantu informs this powerful book. It is rare to see this even attempted with such sophistication, much less achieved. I learned a lot." --Mark Baker, Department of Linguistics, Rutgers University Read more...
