Features: perspectives on a key notion in linguistics

This book presents a critical overview of current work on linguistic features- gender, number, case, person, etc. - and establishes new bases for their use in the study and understanding of language. It brings together perspectives from phonology to formal syntax and semantics, expounding features in typology, computer applications, and logic. INDICE: 1: Anna Kibort and Greville G.
