Contents:
Frontmatter -- Acknowledgments -- Contents -- Symbols, abbreviations and writing conventions -- Introduction -- Part I: A Brief Overview of the Meaning-Text Model -- 1 Meaning-Text linguistic model -- Part II: Surface-Syntactic Relations -- 2 A general inventory of surface-syntactic relations in the world’s languages -- 3 Syntactic subject: syntactic relations, once again -- 4 “Multiple subjects” and “multiple direct objects” in Korean -- 5 Genitive adnominal dependents in Russian: surface- syntactic relations in the N→NGEN phrase -- Part III: Hard Nuts in Syntax – Cracked by Dependency Description -- 6 Relative clause: a typology -- 7 ESLI …, TO … ‘if …, then …’ Syntax of binary conjunctions in Russian -- 8 The East/Southeast Asian answer to the European passive -- 9 Pronominal idioms with a blasphemous noun in Russian and syntactically similar expressions -- Part IV: Word Order – Linearizing Dependency Structures -- 10 Word order in Russian -- 11 Linear ordering of genitive adnominal dependents cosubordinated to a noun in Russian -- References -- Index of definitions -- Index of notions and terms, supplied with a glossary -- Index of languages -- Index of semantic and lexical units
Summary: The monograph presents the Meaning-Text approach applied to the domain of syntax from a typological angle; it deals with several long-standing syntactic problems on the basis of a dependency description.Its content can be presented in five parts + an Introduction:The Introduction explains the architecture of the book and sketches the Meaning-Text linguis-tic model, underlying the subsequent discussion.I. Surface-syntactic relations in the languages of the world, with special studies of subjects and objects.II. Grammatical voice in the dependency framework: the “passive” construction in Chinese.III. The relative clause: a calculus and analysis of possible types; the pseudo-relative (“headless”) clause.IV. Binary conjunctions (such as IF …, THEN …), free indefinite pronouns ([He went] nobody knows where), and syntactic idioms.V. Word order: linearization of dependency structures.The monograph offers a new perspective in syntactic studies. It is strongly typology-oriented (using the data from typologically diverse languages: English, Russian, Chinese, Korean, Basque, Georgian, etc.) and based on a system of rigorous definitions of the notions involved, which ensures a link with computational linguistics and Natural Language Processing
