The linker introduces ("links") a variety of expressions into the verb phrase, including locatives, the second object of a double object construction, the second object of a causative, instruments, subject matter arguments, and adverbs. This volume collects together Chris Collins's published work on the linker in the Khoisan languages. Here, Collins offers a systematic description of the linker in lHo�, Ju-'hoan, N-uu, and to a lesser extent Xo� and -Xam. For each language, Collins illustrates various uses of the linker, drawing attention to cross-linguistic generalizations as well as to variation between the languages. The work presented in this volume should be of interest to researchers working in a wide variety of syntactic frameworks on different languages of the world.

Chris Collins is Professor of Linguistics at New York University. He is a syntactician with an interest in African languages and has done fieldwork in Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, and Togo.
