Abstract:

This book discusses the morpho-syntactic Balkan Sprachbund features in ninelanguages in which they are most numerous. It contains a wealth of Balkanlinguistic material, collected from both the existing literature sourcesand from the author's own field work. Rather than making parallel lists ofconvergent phenomena, the author focuses on displaying similarities anddifferences in the representation of the most widely acknowledged BalkanSprachbund morpho-syntactic features and their interaction with otherfeatures in the structure of the DP or the sentence of individuallanguages. The book stands at the intersection of traditional and formallinguistics. The use of a minimally technical terminology allows for across-framework accessibility of the data.

The book will be of interest to researchers and students working in thefields of comparative linguistics and Macedonian, Bulgarian,Serbo-Croatian, Romanian, Megle-no-Romanian, Aromanian, Albanian, ModernGreek and Balkan Romani languages.

Linguistic Field(s): Morphology                             Syntax
