Welsh, like the other Celtic languages, is best known amongst
linguists for its verb-initial word order and its use of initial
consonant mutations. However it has many more characteristics which
are of interest to syntacticians. This book, first published in
2007, provides a concise and accessible overview of the major
syntactic phenomena of Welsh. A broad variety of topics are
covered, including finite and infinitival clauses, noun phrases,
agreement and tense, word order, clause structure, dialect
variation, and the language's historical Celtic background. Drawing
on work carried out in both Principles and Parameters theory and
Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar, it takes contemporary
colloquial Welsh as its starting point and draws contrasts with a
range of literary and dialectal forms of the language, as well as
earlier forms (Middle Welsh) were appropriate. An engaging guide to
all that is interesting about Welsh syntax, this book will be
welcomed by syntactic theorists, typologists, historical linguists
and Celticists alike.
