Surface-syntactic relations in the languages of the world, with special studies of subjects and objects.\u003cbr\u003eII. Grammatical voice in the dependency framework: the “passive” construction in Chinese.\u003cbr\u003eIII. The relative clause: a calculus and analysis of possible types; the pseudo-relative (“headless”) clause.\u003cbr\u003eIV.

It is strongly typology-oriented (using the data from typologically diverse languages: English, Russian, Chinese, Korean, Basque, Georgian, etc.) and based on a system of rigorous definitions of the notions involved, which ensures a link with computational linguistics and Natural Language Processing","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51864345641303,"sku":"9783111104409","price":21.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783111104409.jpg?v=1759921932","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/ten-studies-in-dependency-syntax-9783111104409","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
