The canonical method takes the criteria used to define particular categories or phenomena (eg negation, finiteness, possession) to create a multidimensional space in which language-specific instances can be placed. In this way, the issue of fit becomes a matter of greater or lesser proximity to a canonical ideal. Drawing on the expertise of world class scholars in the field, the book addresses the issue of cross-linguistic comparability, illustrates the range of areas - from morphosyntactic features to reported speech - to which linguists are currently applying this methodology, and explores to what degree the approach succeeds in discovering the elusive canon of linguistic phenomena.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46494078140567,"sku":"9780199604326","price":13586.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/canonical-morphology-and-syntax-9780199604326","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
