Aspects of natural language variation are investigated from a formal theoretical perspective, including the Principles and Parameters\/Minimalist Program, Lexical Functional Grammar and Optimality Theory. A wide range of languages and language families are considered, including Amharic, Arabic, Bantu, Berber, Chamorro, English, French, Japanese, Malyalam, Polish, Spanish, Tagalog, Turkish, and Warlpiri. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is an important addition to the growing body of literature on language universals and variation from formal theoretical perspectives. It will be a useful reference to linguistics specialists and other cognitive scientists. The topics covered are also diverse, ranging from pronominal clitic variation in dialects of Spanish to passives in Bantu and Polish and the typology of Wh-in-situ questions and vowel place constraints.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMENGISTU AMBERBER is a lecturer in linguistics at the School of Modern Language Studies at the University of New South Wales, Australia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePETER COLLINS is Associate Professor of Linguistics and Head of the Linguistics Department at the University of New South Wales, Australia.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 296\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.06 x 9.54 x 6.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 30, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47328266846457,"sku":"9780275976828","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/KMJhLiCG959780275976828_75a0a5d8-bb55-45b4-a009-a93e5c31c105.webp?v=1769588211","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/language-universals-and-variation-hardcover-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
