Descrizione del libro

This is a full-length study of a Celtic language from the standpoint of modern linguistic theory. Dr Awbery particularly discusses a topic - the passive form of the verb - which has itself been of central interest in previous work on transformational grammar. She is thus able to test certain tenets of transformational theory against data from a previously unconsidered language.

Contenuti

1. Active sentences; 2. Passive sentences; 3. More Passives; 4. Restrictions on the passive; 5. Other agent transformations; 6. A deep structure agent phrase?; 7. Conclusions.
