While such predicate fronting (where fronting may or may not involve movement) is a widespread phenomenon, it is also subject to intricate\u003cbr\u003eand largely unexplained variation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eParameters of Predicate Fronting\u003c\/em\u003e, Vera Lee-Schoenfeld and Dennis Ott bring together leaders in the field of comparative syntax to explore the empirical manifestations and theoretical modelling of predicate fronting across languages. There exists by now a rich literature on predicate fronting, but\u003cbr\u003efew attempts have been made at synthesizing the resulting empirical observations and theoretical implementations. While individual phenomena have been described in some detail, we are currently far from a complete understanding of the uniformity and variation underlying the wider cross-linguistic\u003cbr\u003epicture. This volume takes steps towards this goal by showcasing the state of the art in research on predicate fronting and the parameters governing its realization in a range of diverse languages. Covering topics like prosody, VP-fronting, and predicate doubling across a wide arrange of languages, \u003cbr\u003eincluding English, German, Malagasy, Niuean, Ch'ol, Asante, Twi, Limbum, Krachi, Hebrew, and multiple sign languages, this collection enriches our understanding of the predicate fronting phenomenon.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47889072357527,"sku":"9780197545553","price":15695.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780197545553.webp?v=1781174015","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/parameters-of-predicate-fronting-9780197545553","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
