Böcker av Joseph Greenberg

Joseph Greenberg's "Language Universals" begins with the observation underlying Praguian markedness. He contributes the foundations for a post-structuralist, usage-based theory.

This book offers an integrative approach to the study of formal models in the social and behavioural sciences.

"e;Greenberg's survey of the earlier history of typology is without rivals, a must read for every linguist who is curious about the intellectual roots of current typology. This wouldn't be a work by Greenberg if it didn't go far beyond simple historiography, providing a highly original and readable framework for understanding the earlier efforts."e; Prof. Dr. Martin Haspelmath, Max-Planck-Institut fur Evolutionare Anthropologie
