Bøker av P. H. Matthews

Originally published in 1972, this was the most thorough discussion of morphological theory to appear in recent years, and one of the few to be based directly on an 'inflecting' or 'fusional' language - in this case Latin. The book is addressed to theoretical and descriptive linguists in general and no knowledge of Latin is assumed.

This is a textbook of a fundamental kind, designed to introduce students to the basic concepts of syntax. The approach is thematic, dealing with the nature of syntactic relations and all the main types of construction, including prediction, attribution and co-ordination.
