includes 1 CD-ROM<BR><BR>Abstract:<BR><BR>This work contains a comprehensive description of Kwaza, which is an endangered and unclassified indigenous language of Southern Rondônia, Brazil. The Kwaza language, also known in the literature as Koaiá, is spoken by around 25 people today. Until recently, our knowledge of Kwaza was based on only three short word lists, from 1938, 1943 and 1984. Like the language, the culture and the history of its speakers are <BR>undocumented. The Kwaza people as an ethnic group have been decimated by increasing ecological, physical, social and cultural pressure from Western civilisation since contact in the past century. This is the situation for many indigenous peoples of Rondônia and of the Amazon region in general. Linguists expect that the majority of these peoples will cease to exist as distinct language communities during the coming decades.<BR><BR>The present work is a contribution to the documentation and preservation of the languages
of the Amazon basin. In this respect, Kwaza represents an especially urgent case in view of its undetermined classification, the lack of documentation and its endangered status.<BR><BR>This work is based on the author's personal fieldwork conducted between 1995 and 2002, and it consists of three parts. Part I contains a thorough description of the phonology and morphosyntax of the language and a concise overview of its social, cultural and historical context. Part II contains a diverse selection of transcribed and translated texts with interlinear morphological analyses. Part III is a dictionary of Kwaza, including many examples and an English-Kwaza register. This complete description is of interest to linguists in general, scholars of South American languages in particular, and anthropologists and historians interested in the Guaporé region.<BR><BR>Hein van der Voort is affiliated with the Universities of Nijmegen and Leiden in the Netherlands, and with the Museu Paraense
Emilio Goeldi in Brazil.<BR><BR>Date of publication: July 2004<BR><BR><BR>TO ORDER, PLEASE CONTACT<BR><BR>SFG Servicecenter-Fachverlage<BR>Postfach 4343<BR>72774 Reutlingen, Germany<BR>Fax: +49 (0)7071 - 93 53 - 33<BR>E-mail: <A href="http://mail.yahoo.com/config/login?/ym/Compose?To=deGruyter@s-f-g.com&YY=41803&order=down&sort=date&pos=0" target=_blank><FONT color=#003399>deGruyter@s-f-g.com</FONT></A> <BR><BR><BR>For USA, Canada, Mexico: <BR><BR>Walter de Gruyter, Inc.<BR>PO Box 960<BR>Herndon, VA 20172-0960<BR>Tel.: +1 (703) 661 1589<BR>Tel.

<DIV>Title: Evidentiality <BR>Publication Year: 2004 <BR>Publisher: Oxford University Press<BR> <A href="http://www.oup.com/us" target=_blank><FONT color=#003399>http://www.oup.com/us</FONT></A><BR><BR><BR>Book URL: <A href="http://www.oup.co.uk/isbn/0-19-926388-4" target=_blank><FONT color=#003399>http://www.oup.co.uk/isbn/0-19-926388-4</FONT></A> <BR><BR><BR>Author: Alexandra Aikhenvald, La Trobe University<BR><BR>Hardback: ISBN: 0199263884 Pages: 416 Price: U.K. £ 55<BR><BR><BR>Abstract:<BR><BR>In some languages every statement must contain a specification of the type of evidence on which it is based: for example, whether the speaker saw it, or heard it, or inferred it from indirect evidence, or learnt it from someone else. This grammatical reference to information source is called 'evidentiality', and is one of the least described grammatical <BR>categories. Evidentiality systems differ in how complex they are: some distinguish <BR>just two terms (eyewitness and
noneyewitness, or reported and everything else),<BR>while others have six or even more terms. Evidentiality is a category in its own right, and not a subcategory of epistemic or some other modality, nor of tense-aspect.<BR><BR>Every language has some way of referring to the source of information, but not every language has grammatical evidentiality. In English, expressions such as I guess, they say, I hear that, the alleged are not obligatory and do not constitute a grammatical system. Similar expressions in other languages may provide historical sources for evidentials. True evidentials, by contrast, form a grammatical system. In the North Arawak language Tariana an _expression such as "the dog bit the man" must be augmented by a grammatical suffix indicating whether the event was seen, or heard, or<BR>assumed, or reported.<BR><BR>This book provides the first exhaustive cross-linguistic typological study of how languages deal with the marking of information source. Examples
are drawn from over 500 languages from all over the world, several of them based on the author's original fieldwork. Professor Aikhenvald also considers the role evidentiality plays in human cognition, and the ways in which evidentiality influences human perception of the world. This is an important book on an intriguing subject. It will interest anthropologists,<BR>cognitive psychologists and philosophers, as well as linguists. <BR></DIV>
