Chapter 1. Particles
-
Remus Gergel
Abstract
This chapter provides a general background to the field of particles by introducing major classifications and considerations from synchronic, diachronic, and contrastive perspectives. It builds on earlier literature from the respective fields. In doing so, it also prepares the ground for the individual chapters, which it previews and puts into perspective with the general theme of the volume.
