Title: Theoretical comparative syntax
First published: 2006
Description: "Theoretical Comparative Syntax brings together, for the first time, essays and articles by Naoki Fukui, exploring various topics in the areas of syntactic theory and comparative syntax. The articles have a special focus on the typological differences between English (-type languages) and Japanese (-type languages) and abstract parameters that derive them. Linguistic universals are considered in the light of cross-linguistic variation, and typological (parametric) differences are investigated from the viewpoint of universal principles."--BOOK JACKET.
