Studies in Syntactic Typology

This volume contains revised versions of presentations made at the language conference in 1985. They include proposals of universals, results of investigations to validate or refine previously proposed universal generalizations and discussions concerning the explanation of universals. The volume will be of interest to researchers in syntax and in language universals. In addition, scholars in pragmatics, philosophy of linguistics, psycholinguistics, anthropological linguistics and semantics will also find articles of interest in the book.
