Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A groundbreaking, comprehensive formal theory of grammatical person that recasts its empirical foundations and re-envisions its theoretical core.Impossible Persons, Daniel Harbour's comprehensive and groundbreaking formal theory of grammatical person, upends understanding of auniversal and ubiquitousgrammatical category. Breaking with much past work, Harbour establishes three core theses, one empirical, one theoretical, and one metatheoretical. Together, these redefine the data subsumed under the rubric of "person," simplify the feature inventory that a theory of person must posit, and restructure the metatheory in which feature theory as a whole resides.At itsheart, Impossible Personsposesa simple question of the possible versus the actual: in how many ways could languages configure their person systems, in how many do they configure them, and what explains the size and shape of the shortfall Harbour's empirical thesisthat the primary object of study for persons are partitions, not syncretismstransforms a sea of data into a categorical problem of the attested and the absent. Positing, innovatively, that features denote actions, not predicates, he shows thattwo features alonegenerate all and only the attested systems. Thisapparently poorinventory yields rich explanatory dividends, covering the morphological composition of person, its interaction with number, its connection to space, and properties of its semantics and linearization. Moreover, the core properties of this approach are shared with Harbour's earlier work on number features. Jointly, these results establish an important metatheoretical corollaryconcerning the balance betweenrichnessoffeature semanticsand restrictiveness offeature inventories.This corollary holds deep implications for how linguists should approach feature theory in future.…
