A Grammar of Domari (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The series builds an extensive collection of high quality descriptions of languages around the world. Each volume offers a comprehensive grammatical description of a single language together with fully analyzed sample texts and, if appropriate, a word list and other relevant information which is available on the language in question. There are no restrictions as to language family or area, and although special attention is paid to hitherto undescribed languages, new and valuable treatments of better known languages are also included. No theoretical model is imposed on the authors; the only criterion is a high standard of scientific quality.

Rezensionen

"[...] the book is written in a clear and rich style which makes it easy to read. It will benefit everyone interested in language contact, Indo-Aryan languages, including students of Romani, and other 'Gypsy' languages. Also valuable to the field of grammaticography is the author's efforts to put pragmatics at the centre of linguistic description."
