This volume brings together current research in theoretical syntax
and its interfaces in the Polynesian language family, with chapters
focusing on Hawaiian, Maori, Niuean, Samoan, and Tongan. Languages
in this family present multiple characteristics of particular
interest for comparative syntactic research, and in recent years,
data from Polynesian languages has also contributed to advances in
the fields of prosody and semantics, as well as to the study of
parametric variation. The chapters in this volume offer in-depth
analyses of a range of theoretical issues at the syntax-semantics
and syntax-prosody interfaces, both within individual languages and
from a comparative Polynesian perspective. They examine key topics
including: word order variation, ergativity and case systems,
causativization, negation, raising, modality and superlatives, and
the left periphery of both the sentential and nominal domains. The
findings not only shed light on the theoretical typology of
Polynesian languages, but also have implications for linguistic
theory as a whole.
