Franc Lanko Marušič and Rok Žaucer (eds.); Formal studies in Slovenian syntax: In honor of Janez Orešnik

Abstract

Linguistics is a prism: any given language in its entirety can be refracted through it to reveal an astounding spectrum of properties. And these properties may prove to be unique or universal, but our understanding of how this prism must work is enhanced by every finding. Few have understood this better than Janez Orešnik, to whom this volume is dedicated, and whose work largely focused on Slovenian and Icelandic.
