{"product_id":"free-variation-in-grammar","title":"Free Variation in Grammar","description":"Recent years have seen a growing interest in grammatical variation, a core explanandum of grammatical theory. The present volume explores questions that are fundamental to this line of research: First, the question of whether variation can always and completely be explained by intra- or extra-linguistic predictors, or whether there is a certain amount of unpredictable – or ‘free’ – grammatical variation. Second, the question of what implications the (in-)existence of free variation would hold for our theoretical models and the empirical study of grammar. The volume provides the first dedicated book-length treatment of this long-standing topic. Following an introductory chapter by the editors, it contains ten case studies on potentially free variation in morphology and syntax drawn from Germanic, Romance, Uralic and Mayan.","brand":"John Benjamins Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54226155962712,"sku":"9789027214287","price":100.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/free-variation-in-grammar","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
