This book represents the first comprehensive examination of
templatic constructions - namely, linguistic structures involving
unexpected linear stipulation - in both morphology and syntax from
a typological perspective. It provides a state-of-the-art overview
of the previous literature, develops a new typology for
categorizing templatic constructions across grammatical domains,
and examines their cross-linguistic variation by employing
cutting-edge computational methods. It will be of interest to
descriptive linguists seeking to gain a better sense of the
diversity of the world's templatic constructions, theoretical
linguists developing restrictive models of possible templates, and
typologists interested in the attested range of patterns of linear
stipulation and the application of new kinds of multivariate
methods to cross-linguistic data. The new typological framework is
illustrated in detail via a number of case studies involving
languages of Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas, and numerous
other templatic constructions are also considered over the course
of the book.
