This book studies the syntax of switch-reference and its
implications for the theory of grammar. Switch-reference, found in
many genetically and geographically diverse languages, is a
phenomenon whereby referential identity between subjects of
hierarchically adjacent clauses is encoded by the presence of a
morpheme, usually suffixed to the verb of the subordinate clause.
This book argues that switch-reference should be analysed as a
syntactic rather than a purely pragmatic or functional feature of
language.
