Synopsis

A book for linguists and qualitative discourse analysts

Those working in the areas of theoretical or descriptive linguistics will find Typological Discourse Analysis a valuable resource. It provides tools for linguists and offers a framework for the description of linguistic function. Functional parameters are presented that have been identified as important in the world's languages. This book also shares data from various languages for those linguists involved in language typology. It presents quantitative methods of analysis, while discussing topics of interest such as word order, clause-chaining and noun incorporation.

Revue de presse

"This is an excellent book. It provides the reader with a good account of recent work on quantitative discourse approaches to language universals and typology, with plenty of exemplification, in a way that shows the reader not only how one can do this kind of work but why it is interesting and revealing to do so. No other book comes even close to this one in its scope." Bernard Comrie, University of Southern California
