{"product_id":"universal-semantic-syntax-book-egbert-fortuin-9781108476805","title":"Universal Semantic Syntax","description":"Syntactic theory has been dominated in the last decades by theories that disregard semantics in their approach to syntax. Presenting a truly semantic approach to syntax, this book takes as its primary starting point the idea that syntax deals with the relations between meanings expressed by form-meaning elements and that the same types of relations can be found cross-linguistically. The theory provides a way to formalize the syntactic relations between meanings so that each fragment of grammar can be analyzed in a clear-cut way. A comprehensive introduction into the theoretical concepts of the theory is provided, with analyzes of numerous examples in English and various other languages, European and non-European, to illustrate the concepts. The theory discussed will enable linguists to look for similarities between languages, while at the same time acknowledging important language specific features.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52595957367057,"sku":"NLS9781108476805","price":157.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781108476805.jpg?v=1786278383","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/universal-semantic-syntax-book-egbert-fortuin-9781108476805","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
