Abstract:
This book is the first comprehensive study of Balinese morphosyntax
from a lexicalist perspective. It discusses intricate facts in the
relationship between morphosyntax and semantics in Balinese and
highlights the significance of the facts with regard to linguistic
theory and language typology. It provides in-depth discussions on
important topics in linguistics: split intransitivity, grammatical
relations (subjecthood and termhood), phrase structures, argument
structures, reflexive binding and morpholexical derivations
(passivisation, applicativisation and causativisation). This book is
an essential reference for students and researchers (theoreticians,
typologists and Austronesianists).
