Riassunto

This book is an important attempt to integrate the study of linguistic form with the study of language use and meaning.

Descrizione del libro

A great deal of the grammatical machinery in a language is devoted to the speaker's ability to signal the temporal relations between different events and different people making it clear who is being talked about. Functional Syntax and Universal Grammar explores how different grammatical systems accomplish this.
