520    "Shedding new light on the constructive and expressive 
       role of particles in natural language syntax and semantics,
       this book demonstrates that particle behaviours are 
       neither arbitrary nor peripheral. Based on SOV 
       agglutinative languages situated in Asia, previously 
       overlooked in theoretical linguistics, Jieun Kiaer argues 
       that particle behaviours are motivated socio-pragmatically
       and play a crucial role in explaining syntactic and 
       semantic phenomena. With data drawn from Hindi, Japanese, 
       Korean, Mongolian, Tamil, Turkish and Urdu, the 
       constructive and attitudinal natures of the particles in 
       these languages are analysed and modelled to that 
       fundamentally syntactic decisions are driven by socio-
       pragmatic needs"--|cProvided by publisher
