is a non-Austronesian ('Papuan') language of the Ok family spoken in the
Highlands fringe in western Papua New Guinea. Mian has approximately 1,400
speakers and is highly endangered. This grammar is the first comprehensive
description of the language. It is based on primary field data consisting of a
text corpus that covers different genres of the oral tradition, namely myths
and ancestor stories, historical accounts, accounts of the initiation ritual,
conversations, and procedural texts. The corpus was recorded by the author
during a total of eleven months of field work from 2004 to 2008. The book
provides a thorough description of all areas of Mian grammar and gives an
in-depth analysis of many points of typological interest, such as the complex
system of lexical tone, the interaction between a gender system and a system of
classificatory prefixes on verbs of object movement, manipulation or handling, which
allows the highlighting of certain characteristics of a referent in a given
situation, the complex verbal morphology which allows fine-grained
tense-aspect-mood distinctions, and a switch-reference system in which
switch-reference suffixes on medial verbs are homophonous with and derived from
suffixes functioning as tense and aspect markers in final verbs. The book is
rounded off by a collection of traditional and contemporary texts (fully
glossed and translated) and a word list comprising some 1,600 items, giving lexical
tone, word class and meaning. <span> </span>(DeGM)]<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; font-size: 12px; "><span style="font-size: 14px; "><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; "> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; font-size: 12px; "><span style="font-size: 14px; ">Fenwick, Rohan S.

relates it to its diachronic sources, and adds a semantic perspective to the description.

monograph is a collection of selected papers on Oceanic languages. For the
first time, aspects of the morphology and syntax of Oceanic languages such as
the encoding of sentence types, the structure of the noun phrase, noun
incorporation, constituent order, and ergative vs. accusative alignment are
discussed from a comparative point of view, thus drawing attention to genetic,
areal and language-specific features. The individual papers are based on the
field work of the authors on lesser-described and endangered languages and are
basically descriptive studies. At the same time they also explore the
theoretical implications of the data presented and analyzed, as well as the
historical development of certain morpho-syntactic phenomena, without basing
these explorations on a single theoretical framework. The book provides new
insights into the morphosyntactic structures of Oceanic languages and is of
interest primarily for linguists working on Austronesian, in particular
Melanesian, Micronesian, and Polynesian languages, but also for typologists and
linguists working on language change. <span> </span>(DeGM)] <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; font-size: 12px; "><span style="font-size: 14px; "><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; "> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; font-size: 12px; "><span style="font-size: 14px; ">Mu'azu, Mohammed Aminu

in the forested taiga areas of the Tsagaan Nuur county in the Khövsgöl province
of Mongolia. The present description is exclusively based on the material
collected by the author during intensive fi eldwork sojourns. After a
presentation of the Dukhan people with respect to lifestyle, material culture
and ethnohistorical background and some introductory linguistic considerations
including a sociolinguistic scrutiny, the descriptive chapters focus on the
sound system, derivational and inflectional morphology and the verbal categories
aspect, mood and tense. The description of the phonological system is of
particular interest, since it helps to better understand the fortis vs. lenis
opposition of Turkic consonants. The volume also includes a large text corpus
organized according to the topics „How to do things“, „Life stories“, „Tales“
and „Legends“. Each text is interlinearized: the first line represents the
phonetic IPA-based transcription, the second line represents the broad
transcription in use in Turcological studies, whereas the third and last line
contains morpheme-by-morpheme glosses. Translations are given separately at the
end of each text.

state-of-the-art guide to linguistic fieldwork, reflecting its collaborative
nature across the subfields of linguistics and disciplines such as astronomy,
anthropology, biology, musicology, and ethnography. Experienced scholars and
fieldworkers explain the methods and approaches needed to understand a
language in its full cultural context and to document it accessibly and
enduringly. They consider the application of new technological approaches to
recording and documentation, but never lose sight of the crucial relationship
between subject and researcher. The book is timely: an increased awareness of
dying languages and vanishing dialects has stimulated the impetus for
recording them as well as the funds required to do so. The handbook is an
indispensible source, guide, and reference for everyone involved in
linguistic and cultural fieldwork.

at why human societies at different times and places produce different kinds of
language. He considers how far social factors influence language structure and
compares languages and dialects spoken across the globe, from Vietnam to
Nigeria, Polynesia to Scandinavia, and from Canada to Amazonia. <br>
Modesty prevents Pennsylvanian Dutch Mennonites using the verb wotte ('want');
stratified society lies behind complicated Japanese honorifics; and a
mountainous homeland suggests why speakers of Tibetan-Burmese Lahu have words
for up there and down there. But culture and environment don't explain why
Amazonian Jarawara needs three past tenses, nor why Nigerian Igbo can make do
with eight adjectives, nor why most languages spoken in high altitudes do not
exhibit an array of spatial demonstratives. Nor do they account for some
languages changing faster than others or why some get more complex while others
get simpler. The author looks at these and many other puzzles, exploring the
social, linguistic, and other factors that might explain them and in the
context of a huge range of languages and societies.
