Complex Words, Causatives, Verbal Periphrases and the Gerund Summary

Complex Words, Causatives, Verbal Periphrases and the Gerund: Romance Languages Versus Czech (a Parallel Corpus-Based Study) by Petr Cermak

This book focuses on the typological differences among the four most widely spoken Romance languages--French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish--and Czech. Utilizing findings from the Czech National Corpus' massive language database, the authors analyze a range of linguistic categories to discover the differences and similarities between Czech and the Romance languages. Due to the massive amount of data mined, as well as the high number of languages examined, this book presents general and individual typological features of the four Romance languages and Czech that often exceed what has previously been accepted in the field of comparative linguistics.
