Language Universals

by Joseph H. Greenberg

„This is the latest version of the 1956 book which began the modern study of universals, and provides the foundation for many inquiries that followed. The hypotheses are cast at a moderate level of abstraction, and so are likely to survive as a basis for inquiry for many decades to come." Prof. Dr. William Labov, University of Pennsylvania, Department of Linguistics.
