{"product_id":"9781556711350","title":"Case and Agreement in Abaza","description":"Abaza, a little-documented Northwest Caucasian language, exhibits an extensive agreement system. This book, the result of field work carried out by Brian O'Herin, is both descriptive and analytical. As a descriptive work, it provides thorough coverage of a significant subsystem of Abaza grammar--the agreement system. Abaza exhibits morphological agreement between a noun and its possessor, between a postposition and its object, and between a verb and virtually all verbal arguments, resulting in multiple agreement relationships. As an analytical work, Case and Agreement in Abaza provides a unified analysis of the agreement system within the theory of Principles and Parameters, demonstrating how a variety of structures (causative, applicative, inverted, etc.) can be accounted for within a single simple analysis. O'Herin's work is valuable for those interested in descriptions of languages of the Caucasus, as well as for syntacticians, particularly those interested in agreement systems and ergativity.","brand":"SIL International, Global Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47064440504560,"sku":"9781556711350","price":30.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781556711350_p0.jpg?v=1763756913","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781556711350","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
