Using data from a variety of languages such as Blackfoot,
Halkomelem, and Upper Austrian German, this book explores a range
of grammatical categories and constructions, including tense,
aspect, subjunctive, case and demonstratives. It presents a new
theory of grammatical categories - the Universal Spine Hypothesis -
and reinforces generative notions of Universal Grammar while
accommodating insights from linguistic typology. In essence, this
new theory shows that language-specific categories are built from a
small set of universal categories and language-specific units of
language. Throughout the book the Universal Spine Hypothesis is
compared to two alternative theories - the Universal Base
Hypothesis and the No Base Hypothesis. This valuable addition to
the field will be welcomed by graduate students and researchers in
linguistics.
