How relevant is the distinction between living and non-living entities in the grammar of languages? This first typological comprehensive study of animacy will immerse you into the realm of this category, its theoretical implications and pervasive effects on inflectional morphology. Animacy influences the grammar of languages in different ways, although it often goes unnoticed. Did you know that in English there is a strong tendency towards using the Saxon genitive’s with humans instead of the preposition of? Have you everd hear that some Chinantecan languages encode the animate/inanimate distinction in almost every word, and that in Hatam only human nouns distinguish plural number? This book offers for the first time a comprehensive cross-linguistic study of its effects on morphological systems. How do real data fit the theorethical definition of animacy? Do we observe different types of animacy? Which techniques are employed to encode it? Which categories and features are affected, and how? Data from more than 300 languages provide answers to these (and other) questions. Includes bibliographical references and index. Language and languages. Philosophy of Mind. Philosophy. Psycholinguistics. Print version: Santazilia, Ekaitz Animacy and Inflectional Morphology Across Languages Boston : BRILL,c2022 Empirical Approaches to Linguistic Theory ; 19. |

Did you know that in English there is a strong tendency towards using the Saxon genitive’s with humans instead of the preposition of? Have you everd hear that some Chinantecan languages encode the animate/inanimate distinction in almost every word, and that in Hatam only human nouns distinguish plural number? This book offers for the first time a comprehensive cross-linguistic study of its effects on morphological systems. How do real data fit the theorethical definition of animacy? Do we observe different types of animacy? Which techniques are employed to encode it? Which categories and features are affected, and how? Data from more than 300 languages provide answers to these (and other) questions.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="504" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Includes bibliographical references and index.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Language and languages.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Philosophy of Mind.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Philosophy.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Psycholinguistics.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Santazilia, Ekaitz</subfield><subfield code="t">Animacy and Inflectional Morphology Across Languages</subfield><subfield code="d">Boston : BRILL,c2022</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="830" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Empirical Approaches to Linguistic Theory ;</subfield><subfield code="v">19.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="ADM" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="b">2024-06-13 00:38:24 Europe/Vienna</subfield><subfield code="d">00</subfield><subfield code="f">system</subfield><subfield code="c">marc21</subfield><subfield code="a">2022-11-20 14:11:28 Europe/Vienna</subfield><subfield code="g">false</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="AVE" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">Brill</subfield><subfield code="P">EBA Brill All</subfield><subfield code="x">https://eu02.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/view/uresolver/43ACC_OEAW/openurl?u.ignore_date_coverage=true&portfolio_pid=5343644040004498&Force_direct=true</subfield><subfield code="Z">5343644040004498</subfield><subfield code="b">Available</subfield><subfield code="8">5343644040004498</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |
