Possible
In this important and pioneering book Frederick Newmeyer takes on the question
of language variety. He considers ■why some language types are impossible and why
some grammatical features are more common than others. The task of trying to explain
typological variation among languages has been mainly undertaken by functionally-
oriented linguists. Generative grammarians entering the field of typology in the
put forward the idea that cross-linguistic differences could be explained by linguistic
parameters within Universal Grammar, whose operation might vary from language
to language. Unfortunately, this way of looking at variation turned out to be much less
successful than had been hoped for. Professor Newmeyer s alternative to parameters
combines leading ideas from functionalist and formalist approaches which in the past
have been considered incompatible. He throws fresh light on language typology and
variation, and provides new insights into the principles of Universal Grammar.
The book is written in a clear, readable style and will be readily understood by
anyone with a couple of years study of linguistics. It will interest a wide range of
scholars and students of language, including typologists, historical linguists, and
theorists of every shade.
