{"product_id":"intransitive-predication","title":"Intransitive Predication","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book investigates cross-linguistic variation in one of the core domains of all natural languages. Leon Stassen views this domain as a 'cognitive space', the topography of which is the same for all languages. It is assumed to consist of four subdomains, which correspond to a four-way distinction between the semantic classes of event predicates, property predicates, class predicates, and locational predicates. The book offers a typology of the structural manifestations of this domain, in terms of the nature and number of the formal strategies used in its encoding. The author disusses a number of abstract principles which can be employed in explaining the cross-linguistic variation emodied by the typology. In the final chapter he brings together the research results in a universally applicable model, which can be read as a 'flow-chart' for the encoding of intransitive predications in different language types.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leon Stassen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43572755660861,"sku":"9780199258932","price":152.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780199258932.jpg?v=1788505791","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/intransitive-predication","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
