Morpheme order and semantic scope

"In this book Keren Rice offers a rich typological survey of morpheme ordering in Athapaskan verbs, with implications for both synchronic grammar and language change. Arguing against a view that sees morpheme order in Athapaskan languages as templatic and essentially without principle, she shows that verb structure is in fact widely predictable across languages if appropriate syntactic factors and an overarching principle of semantic scope are taken into account. The presentation also includes a detailed study of argument and aspectual systems."--BOOK JACKET.

המשפט הראשון: Athapaskan languages are often thought of as the ultimate challenge by linguists interested in issues of morphosyntax, and linguists working on these languages are alternately admired and pitied.
