- More about Polynesian Syntax and its Interfaces
This volume explores current research in theoretical syntax and its interfaces in the Polynesian language family, focusing on Hawaiian, Māori, Niuean, Samoan, and Tongan. It offers in-depth analyses of key topics such as word order variation, ergativity and case systems, causativization, negation, raising, modality and superlatives, and the left periphery of both the sentential and nominal domains. The findings have implications for linguistic theory as a whole.

This comprehensive volume explores the latest research in theoretical syntax and its interfaces within the Polynesian language family, encompassing chapters dedicated to Hawaiian, Māori, Niuean, Samoan, and Tongan. Languages within this family exhibit a multitude of distinctive features that make them highly valuable for comparative syntactic studies. Furthermore, the study of Polynesian languages has played a significant role in advancing our understanding of prosody and semantics, as well as in investigating parametric variation.
The chapters presented in this volume provide in-depth examinations of various theoretical topics at the syntax-semantics and syntax-prosody interfaces, both within individual languages and from a comparative Polynesian perspective. These topics include word order variation, ergativity and case systems, causativization, negation, raising, modality and superlatives, and the left periphery of both the sentential and nominal domains. The findings of this research not only shed light on the theoretical typology of Polynesian languages but also have broader implications for linguistic theory as a whole.
By bringing together experts from different fields, this volume offers a valuable resource for scholars and researchers interested in syntax, semantics, and language typology. It provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge in the Polynesian language family and highlights the potential for further research and exploration in this area.
