- 2.2.2.2 Multiple specifiers in the left periphery. Aelbrecht (2007)'s left-peripheral analysis does not deploy the cartographic left periphery. Differently from Vanden Wyngaerd, she assumes that all gapped constituents are moved to the specifier positions

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
