Divided into four parts, this book explores the nature of finiteness. Part I considers the role finiteness plays in formal syntactic theories and Part II its deployment. Parts III and IV look respectively at the finite/nonfinite opposition in individual languages and at the role finiteness plays in linguistic change and linguistic development.
