Names: Guha, Ambalika, author. Title: Issues in the syntax of determiner phrases in Bangla / by Ambalika Guha.
Description: Leiden ; Boston : Brill, 2023. | Series: Empirical approaches to linguistic theory, 2210-6243 ; volume 20 | Includes bibliographical references. | Summary: “The book investigates multiple aspects of the patterning of Determiner Phrases (DP) in Bangla and develops a set of proposals to model the underlying syntactic structure of such elements. A broad aspect of this book is to re-assert the existing argument in the DP literature that DPs appear to share a parallel structure to the clauses. The book in particular shows that the Bangla DP-internal phrasal movements are instances of discourse driven phenomena. This further leads to project a fine structure of nominal left-periphery in the Bangla DP, that has been argued in the background of the cross-linguistic evidence drawn from Gungbe, Greek, Albanian, and Russian languages. The central theoretical discussion of the book primarily revolves around the key conceptual domains of adjective movement, ellipsis, definiteness, and wh-movement in the Bangla DP”— Provided by publisher.
