Linguistic typology identifies both how languages vary and what
they all have in common. This Handbook provides a state-of-the art
survey of the aims and methods of linguistic typology, and the
conclusions we can draw from them. Part I covers phonological
typology, morphological typology, sociolinguistic typology and the
relationships between typology, historical linguistics and
grammaticalization. It also addresses typological features of mixed
languages, creole languages, sign languages and secret languages.
Part II features contributions on the typology of morphological
processes, noun categorization devices, negation, frustrative
modality, logophoricity, switch reference and motion events.
Finally, Part III focuses on typological profiles of the mainland
South Asia area, Australia, Quechuan and Aymaran, Eskimo-Aleut,
Iroquoian, the Kampa subgroup of Arawak, Omotic, Semitic,
Dravidian, the Oceanic subgroup of Austronesian and the
Awuyu-Ndumut family (in West Papua). Uniting the expertise of a
stellar selection of scholars, this Handbook highlights linguistic
typology as a major discipline within the field of linguistics.
