Comparative work between an East Asian language and other, non-East Asian languages that contributes to the theory of universal grammar. Formal analyses of diachronic data patterns from East Asian languages. Experimental studies on East Asian languages that have direct consequences for the development of formal, generative linguistic theory. Remark or reply-type articles which motivate alternative analyses of phenomena previously described and analyzed for these languages. Shorter squibs with original observations that raise questions of analysis and explanation with significant theoretical implications.
