Publisher's Synopsis

The complexity of grammatical structures has become a centre of interest in recent typological and dialectological research. This volume discusses structural complexity from the perspective of language variation and change. Particular attention is paid to the hypothesis that languages and the varieties spoken by small, isolated communities tend to display greater complexity than others.
