The typology of adjectival predication

Research on language universals and linguistic typology are complementary approaches addressing the relationship between the diversity and unity of languages. Recognizing the extent of typological divergence is crucial for formulating universal laws. Recent insights emphasize the need to analyze a wide range of radically different languages before developing general theories. Typological comparison has become central to linguistic research, and this series on empirical approaches to language typology provides a platform for diverse contributions in this evolving field. Its distinctive empirical orientation ensures that conclusions are grounded in thorough analysis of data. The focus is on general problems examined through the lens of individual languages, families, groups, or samples, with particular attention given to lesser-known languages that illuminate longstanding issues in general linguistics. The series welcomes contributions from various theoretical perspectives, reflecting the methodological pluralism of contemporary linguistics. All volumes aim to be accessible to linguists and readers in related fields, as a deeper understanding of language typological diversity is vital for many sciences beyond linguistics. Consequently, this series is essential for research libraries, both public and private, specializing in language and language sciences. For inquiries or proposals, please contact Birgit Sievert.
