the sYntax oF
nominaliZations
across languages
and Frameworks
The volume explores the syntax of nominalizations,
focusing on deverbal and deadjectival nominalizations,
but also discussing the syntax of genitives and
the syntax of distinct readings of nominalizations.
The volume investigates the morphology-syntax
interface as well as the semantics-syntax interface
in the domain of nominalizations. The theoretical
frameworks include distributed morphology, and
minimalist syntax. Data from a variety of languages
are taken into consideration, e.g. Hebrew, Bulgarian,
Serbian, French, Spanish, German and English.

a grammar oF
madurese
Madurese is a major regional language of Indonesia,
with some 14 million speakers, mainly on the
island of Madura and adjacent parts of Java, making
it the fourth largest language of Indonesia after
Indonesian, Javanese, and Sundanese. There is no
existing comprehensive descriptive grammar of the
language, with existing studies being either sketches
of the whole grammar, or detailed descriptions of
phonology and morphology or some particular topics
within these components of the grammar. There is no
competing work that provides the breadth and depth
of coverage of this grammar, in particular (though
not exclusively) with regard to syntax.

a look through the prism of the great Dictionary
of Modern chinese Dialects
The book uncovers the role The Great Dictionary
of Modern Chinese Dialects plays in analyzing the
spectrum of linguistic differentiation in China. The
author starts by sketching the development and
current state of Chinese dialectology and dialectal
research. She then provides an analysis of the Dictionary
and of the kind of information it provides.
Looking at Chinese dialectology from a Western
point of view, the author aims to understand and
present the Chinese perspective.
