Series Statement:
Empirical Approaches to Language Typology [EALT] 54
Content:
Argument-marking, morphological partitives have been the topic of language specific studies, while no cross-linguistic or typological analyses have been conducted. Since individual partitives of different languages have been studied, there exists a basis for a more cross-linguistic approach. The purpose of this book is to fill the gap and to bring together research on partitives in different languages. Silvia Luraghi, University of Pavia, Italy; Tuomas Huumo, University of Turku, Finland, and University of Tartu, Estonia.
