自第一次出版以来，“语言普遍性和语言类型学”已经成为语言学最富有成效的领域之一的领先介绍性说明-语言组织的共同特征和形式的分析，比较和分类。伯纳德·科姆里（Bernard Comrie）采用了格林伯格和其他人开创的方法，特别关注句法语义共性，专门章节讨论词序，格制作，关系从句和使役结构。他的书自始至终都坚信，对人类语言普遍属性的典范性描述不能局限于纯粹的形式方面，也不能专注于对单一语言的分析。相反，它还必须考虑语言的使用，将形式属性与关于认知和认知发展的可检验的主张联系起来，并处理来自各种语言的数据。本书第二版经过了修订和更新，以充分考虑过去十年中在共性和类型学方面的新研究，并更广泛地考虑本文所倡导的方法与生成语法理论的最新进展之间的关系。
Since its first publication, "Language Universals and Linguistic Typology" has become established as the leading introductory account of one of the most productive areas of linguistics-the analysis, comparison, and classification of the common features and forms of the organization of languages. Adopting an approach to the subject pioneered by Greenberg and others, Bernard Comrie is particularly concerned with syntactico-semantic universals, devoting chapters to word order, case making, relative clauses, and causative constructions. His book is informed throughout by the conviction that an exemplary account of universal properties of human language cannot restrict itself to purely formal aspects, nor focus on analysis of a single language. Rather, it must also consider language use, relate formal properties to testable claims about cognition and cognitive development, and treat data from a wide range of languages. This second edition has been revised and updated to take full account of new research in universals and typology in the past decade, and more generally to consider how the approach advocated here relates to recent advances in generative grammatical theory.
