Greenberg, Joseph H. 1915-2001.
Language universals : with special reference to feature hierarchies / by Joseph H. Greenberg ; with a preface by Martin Haspelmath. - Berlin ; New York : Mouton de Gruyter, ©2005. - 1 online resource (xvii, 89 pages) : illustrations
Includes bibliographical references.
Preface to the reprinted edition / Martin Haspelmath -- 1. Introduction : marked and unmarked categories -- 2. Phonology -- 3. Grammar and lexicon -- 4. Common characteristics in phonology, grammar, and lexicon -- 5. Universals of kinship terminology.
Greenberg's Language Universals is typical of his typological-theoretical work in its stunning originality. Starting out from the observations underlying Praguian markedness, Greenberg contributes a mass of new data and generalizations and lays the foundations for a post-structuralist, usage-based theory of grammatical asymmetries. This work will continue to be influential for many years to come.
