the link in your message goes to the wrong grammar (Mauwake

<p>This grammar provides the first comprehensive grammatical
description of Yakkha, a Sino-Tibetan language of the
Kiranti branch.
<br>
</p>
<div id="more" class="more" style="display:block">Yakkha is
spoken by about 14,000 speakers in eastern Nepal, in the
Sankhuwa Sabha and Dhankuta districts. The grammar is
based on original fieldwork in the Yakkha community. Its
primary source of data is a corpus of 13,000 clauses from
narratives and naturally-occurring social interaction
which the author recorded and transcribed between 2009 and
2012. Corpus analyses were complemented by targeted
elicitation. The grammar is written in a
functional-typological framework. It focusses on
morphosyntactic and semantic issues, as these present
highly complex and comparatively under-researched fields
in Kiranti languages. The sequence of the chapters follows
the well-established order of phonological, morphological,
syntactic and discourse-structural descriptions. These are
supplemented by a historical and sociolinguistic
introduction as well as an analysis of the complex kinship
terminology. Topics such as verbal person marking,
argument structure, transitivity, complex predication,
grammatical relations, clause linkage, nominalization, and
the topography-based orientation system have received
in-depth treatment. Wherever possible, the structures
found were explained in a historical-comparative
perspective in order to shed more light on how their
particular properties have emerged. </div>
