ABSTRACT
This chapter is a recapitulation of the results of the previous chapters, both descriptive and analytical. These results have been fleshed out in a series of case studies, including studies of Cupeño (Uto-Aztecan), Modern Russian, and Tokyo Japanese, as well as some selected languages for which there is sufficient documentation. As the results from additional languages are assessed, this recapitulative summary may serve as a guideline for testing the hypotheses repeated below on a larger scale.
