Classificatory Particles in Kilivila
ISBN: 9780195092110 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Common among the world's languages is the phenomenon of classification, a partly or fully grammatical division of the noun lexicon into distinct classes that ultimately derives from the human need to classify and filter data on various levels while communicating. In this book, Senft describes and develops a grammar of classificatory particles in Kilivila, an Austronesian language of the Trobriand Islanders in Papua New Guinea. Drawing largely on his anthropological and linguistic fieldwork in the islands, and emphasizing the use of classifiers in a social context, Senft provides quantitative...

ISBN: 9780195105513 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Irian Jaya is the official name of the western half of New Guinea, a province of Indonesia since the 1960s. Its inhabitants are generally untouched by civilization, and most of their hundreds of native languages and cultures remain unstudied. Van Enk and de Vries gained access to one of the most isolated parts of Irian Jaya in order to study the Korowai, a tribe in southern Irian Jaya. The Korowai still use stone tools, live in tree-houses, and have no knowledge of the outside world. Van Enk and de Vries provide the first study of the Korowai language and culture. They reproduce oral texts...

Serial Verbs in Oceanic: A Descriptive Typology
ISBN: 9780198241355 / Angielski / Twarda / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book describes the diversity of serial verb constructions within Oceanic languages. Serial verb constructions are sequences of verbs placed one after another to express meanings which in other languages are typically expressed by means of single verbs. It has long been established that West African, Southeast Asian and Papuan languages are serializing languages, but the construction has only comparatively recently been recognized in Oceanic languages, which belong to a very large sub-group of the Austronesian family.

Endoclitics and the Origins of Udi Morphosyntax
ISBN: 9780199246335 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book provides a description and analysis of a phenomenon that appears to be unique among languages that have been brought to the attention of linguists, namely the possibility of small words occurring inside other words. Examination of this is important because it helps us to understand what a word is from a cross-linguistic point of view. The second part of the book shows how Udi came to be so different from other languages, and how in this sense it explains the phenomenon.

Hittite and the Indo-European Verb
ISBN: 9780199281985 / Angielski / Miękka / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book reconciles what is known of the Proto-Indo-European verbal system with the evidence of Hittite and the other early Anatolian languages. The decipherment of Hittite in 1917 and the recognition that it was an Indo-European language had dramatic consequences for conceptions of the Indo-European parent language. For most of the twentieth century, attention focused on the peculiarities of Hittite phonology, especially the consonant h and its implications for the evolving laryngeal theory. Yet the morphological "disconnects" between Hittite and the other early languages are more profound...

Catalan
ISBN: 9780415054980 / Angielski / Twarda / 482 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Among the languages of Europe Catalan has a special status because it enjoys official recognition, along with Spanish, in a number of Spanish-speaking regions. These include Catalonia, Valencia and the Balearic Islands and the principality of Andorra. Also spoken in Roussillon, France, and in the town of Alghero, Sardinia, it therefore has a relatively large number of speakers. Catalan is also of importance within the Romance family of languages, because it constitutes a link between the Ibero-Romance and the Gallo-Romance branches. In its syntax and morphology it presents characteristics...

The effects of rule... This book is the first comprehensive treatment of the phonological system of Basque available in English. Basque is a morphologically rich and fair... |
