Comprehensive Grammar Resources
About the Book Series
With the rapid development of linguistic theory, the art of grammar writing has changed. Modern research on grammatical structures has tended to uncover many constructions, many in-depth properties, many insights that are generally not found in the type of grammar books used in schools and in fields related to linguistics. The new factual and analytical body of knowledge that is being built up for many languages is, unfortunately, often tucked away in articles and books that concentrate on theoretical issues and are, therefore, not available in a systematized way.
The Comprehensive Grammar Resources (CGR) series intends to make up for this gap by publishing extensive grammars that are solidly based on recent theoretical and empirical advances. They intend to present the facts as exhaustively as possible and in a way that will “speak” to modern linguists but will also (and hopefully increasingly so) become a new type of grammatical resource for the semi- and nonspecialist.
Such grammar works are of necessity quite voluminous. And compiling them is a laborious business. Furthermore, no grammar can ever be complete. Instead, new subdomains may become the subject of scientific scrutiny, leading to additional volumes. We therefore intend to build up these grammars incrementally, volume by volume.
In view of the encyclopaedic nature of grammars, also the size of these works, adequate search facilities must be provided in the form of good indices and extensive cross-referencing. Furthermore, frequent updating of such resources is imperative. The best way of achieving these goals is by making the grammar resources available in electronic format on a specially established platform. Following current trends, they will therefore appear in dual mode: as open access objects freely perusable by anyone interested, and as hard copy volumes to cater to those who cherish holding a real book in their hands. The scientific quality of these grammar resources will be jointly guaranteed by the series editors.
