{"product_id":"9780199258932","title":"Intransitive Predication","description":"This book investigates cross-linguistic variation in one of the core domains of all natural languages. Leon Stassen views this domain as a 'cognitive space', the topography of which is the same for all languages. It is assumed to consist of four subdomains, which correspond to a four-way distinction between the semantic classes of event predicates, property predicates, class predicates, and locational predicates. The book offers a typology of the structuralmanifestations of this domain, in terms of the nature and number of the formal strategies used in its encoding. The author disusses a number of abstract principles which can be employed in explaining the cross-linguistic variation emodied by the typology. In the final chapter he brings together the researchresults in a universally applicable model, which can be read as a 'flow-chart' for the encoding of intransitive predications in different language types.","brand":"Leon Stassen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45744220504382,"sku":"9780199258932","price":3050.09,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780199258932_34a3fc16-ecba-45e9-90b9-82765c971be9.jpg?v=1707223700","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780199258932","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
