Description
Linguistic Typology by Jae Jung Song provides a comprehensive introduction to the study of structural variation in human language and its implications for understanding language in general. The book explores major research topics and current approaches in linguistic typology, drawing on a wide range of cross-linguistic data. The text is divided into two parts, with the first part covering theoretical issues and approaches, as well as practical considerations such as sampling methods and data collection. The second part examines variation in particular phenomena, including word order, case alignment, and evidentiality marking. Each chapter concludes with study questions and suggestions for further reading. Suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in linguistic typology and language universals, as well as cross-linguistically focused courses in phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics.
