520 |a Almost all languages have some grammatical means for categorizing nouns. This book provides a comprehensive and original analysis of noun categorization devices all over the world. It will interest typologists, those working in the fields of morphosyntactic variation and lexical semantics, as well as anthropologists and all other scholars interested in the mechanisms of human cognition 
520 |a This text offers a cross-linguistic account of classifiers. Its range of exemplification includes major and minor languages from every continent and several of the examples are from the author's own fieldwork 
520 1 |a "This book combines original research with innovative analysis to present a comprehensive cross-linguistic study of classifiers. It examines major and minor languages from every continent, including several little-known languages drawn from the author's fieldwork in various parts of the world (including Amazonia and Papua New Guinea)." "Professor Aikhenvald is able to show that different types of classifier have varying correlations with other grammatical categories and that they can develop, become obsolescent, or disappear in different ways. The author presents a full typology of classifiers based on these contrasting parameters." "This work will interest typologists, as well as those working in the fields of morphosyntactic variation and lexical semantics. It also provides data and analysis for formal theories that seek to explain the diversity found in natural language."--BOOK JACKET
