Abstract

Rolandas Mikulskas. 2017. Copular constructions in Lithuanian. (Valency, Argument Realization and Grammatical Relations in Baltic, 4). Amsterdam-Philadelphia: John Benjamins.

This book by Rolandas Mikulskas is an in-detail analysis of copular constructions (henceforth: CCS) in one Baltic language, Lithuanian. It is a typologically aware, cognitive-linguistic approach to a specific construction, or rather a set of interconnected constructions, with a synchronic emphasis as opposed to the more diachronically-oriented tradition of Lithuanian syntax.
