{"product_id":"grammatical-borrowing-in-cross-linguistic-perspective","title":"Grammatical Borrowing in Cross-Linguistic Perspective","description":"\u003cp\u003e The book contains 30 descriptive chapters dealing with a specific language contact situation. The chapters follow a uniform organisation format, being the narrative version of a standard comprehensive questionnaire previously distributed to all authors. The questionnaire targets systematically the possibility of contact influence \/ grammatical borrowing in a full range of categories. The uniform structure facilitates a comparison among the chapters and the languages covered. The introduction describes the setup of the questionnaire and the methodology of the approach, along with a survey of the difficulties of sampling in contact linguistics. Two evaluative chapters, each authored by one of the co-editors, draws general conclusions from the volume as a whole (one in relation to borrowed grammatical categories and meaningful hierarchies, the other in relation to the distribution of Matter and Pattern replication).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57335586160984,"sku":"9783110196283","price":194.06,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783110196283.jpg?v=1779282981","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/grammatical-borrowing-in-cross-linguistic-perspective","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
