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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 682g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 163 x 243 x 27 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780198860839\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44100542529786,"sku":"9780198860839","price":115.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/9d927b9eae9b8547bfc95e29b6b6bbed.jpg?v=1633055117","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/polynesian-syntax-and-its-interfaces","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
