Description
This book not only provides breadth in the variety of languages discussed across the chapters, but several of the chapters also provide typological surveys of ways that particular placeholders behave across larger sets of languages via corpora, elicitations, and reports from the literature. Thus, this volume's findings will be a valuable recourse for typologists. The volume is of value, as well, to linguists working on discourse structuring.
