Böcker av John Haiman

The goal of John Haiman's study is to challenge the monopoly of arbitrariness, which he believes has affected in significant ways many models of linguistic description and analysis, notably those proposed by Saussure and more recently by Chomsky and his associates.

The first general description of these languages to be written in English, provides a critical look at the phonology, morphology, lexicon, and syntax of modern RR dialects within the broader perspective of Romance comparative linguistics.
