Studies in the Syntax of Relative and Comparative Causes

<p>This title first published in 1985 is an investigation of certain aspects of the syntax of relative and comparative clauses. The author provides a typological survey of relative clauses in the languages of the world which serves both to convey a general impression of what relative clauses are like in the languages of the world and to establish certain phenomena that are of theoretical import. The author also examines comparative clauses and integrates the material given with that presented for relatives. This title will be of interest to students of language and linguistics.</p>
