Plains Cree Morphosyntax (Rle Linguistics F: World Linguistics): Volume 56
ISBN: 9780415727495 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores several topics in Cree morphology, syntax and discourse structure. Cree, an Algonquian language, is non-configurational: the grammatical relations of subject and object are not expressed by word order or other constituent structure relations, as they are in a configurational language like English. Instead, subjects and objects are expressed by means of the inflection on the verb. Cree is typical of non-configurational languages in allowing a great deal of word order variation. This study examines in detail aspects of the Plains Cree dialect, giving a valuable insight... This book explores several topics in Cree morphology, syntax and discourse structure.

A Comparative Study of Lake-Iroquoian Accent
ISBN: 9789401077217 / Angielski / Miękka / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work is based on my 1983 doctoral dissertation submitted to the Department of Linguistics at Harvard University, although it represents an extensive revision and reorganization of that work. Large amounts of material that were not contained in the original have been added, and parts that address theoretical issues that, at least for the time being, have receded into the background, have been omitted. Many colleagues and friends have contributed to my sustained fascina tion with as well as my understanding of lroquoian linguistics. First of all, I am grateful to the Iroquois who have...

According to tradition, the Quechan and other Yuman people were created at the beginning of time, and their Creation myth explains how they came into existence, the origin of their environment, and the significance of their oldest traditions.

A Grammar of Aguaruna (Iiniá Chicham)
ISBN: 9783110405576 / Angielski / Twarda / 652 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is a descriptive grammar of Aguaruna, known to its speakers as Iinia Chicham, a Jivaroan language spoken by some 55,000 people in the northwest Peruvian Amazon. Aguaruna is typologically and historically significant because of its location in the eastern foothills of the Andes, right between the Andean and Amazonian linguistic areas. Some typologically unusual syntactic phenomena, for example in the areas of grammatical relations and case marking, make this description relevant beyond the areal context. This is the first full grammar of a Jivaroan language, covering phonology,...

The Acquisition of Inflection in Q Anjob Al Maya
ISBN: 9789027244031 / Angielski / Twarda / 157 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most studies on the acquisition of verbal inflection have examined languages with a single verb suffix. This book offers a study on the acquisition of verb inflections in Q anjob al Maya. Q anjob al has separate inflections for aspect, subject and object agreement, and status suffixes. The subject and object inflections display a split ergative pattern. The subjects of intransitive verbs with aspect markers take absolutive markers, whereas the subjects of aspectless intransitive verbs take ergative markers. The acquisition of three types of clauses is explored in detail (imperatives,...

Object and Absolutive in Halkomelem Salish (Rle Linguistics F: World Linguistics)
ISBN: 9781138994560 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book treats aspects of the syntax of Halkomelem, a Salish language spoken in southwestern British Columbia, specifically those constructions which involve objects, and seeks to accomplish two goals. First, it provides natural language fodder for the debate concerning the nature of grammatical relations and their place in syntactic theory. Second, by showing that Halkomelem draws from a familiar class of universal constructions and organizes its syntax around some simple and common parameters, the author has brought the Salish languages, which due to their phonological and...

The Correct Language, Tojolabal (Rle Linguistics F: World Linguistics): A Grammar with Ethnographic Notes
ISBN: 9781138997776 / Angielski / Miękka / 402 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Definitions of language cluster around two non-contradictory views: one that language is a shared code, a social entity, and the other that language is the knowledge that enables a native speaker to produce and understand speech. In examining the language and culture of the Tojolabal (Mayan) Indians of Mexico, this book argues that language is a cognitive system, as is culture, of which language is but a part. The author is most interested in the interfaces between language and social phenomena and between language and other systems of culture, and demonstrates that research on the...
