English Inversion: A Ground-before-Figure Construction


Add your own review!

Overview

Here, Rong Chen provides an account of English inversion, a construction that displays perplexing idiosyncrasies at the level of semantics, phonology, syntax and pragmatics. Basing his central argument on the claim that inversion is a linguistic representation of a Ground-before-Figure model, Chen develops a solution to a multidimensional linguistic puzzle and, in the process, supports the theoretical position that a cognitive approach best suits the multidimensionality of language itself.
