Coined: The Rich Life of Money And How Its History Has Shaped Us

Ergativity is one of the main challenges both for linguistic and acquisition theories. This book is unique, taking a cross-linguistic approach to the acquisition of ergativity in a large variety of typologically distinct languages.

The volume will be of particular interest to language acquisition researchers, linguists, psycholinguists and cognitive scientists.
