Abstract:

Atong is a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in Northeast India and Bangladesh.
Seino van Breugel provides a deep and thorough coverage and analysis of all
major areas of the grammar, which makes this book of great interest and value
to general linguists and typologists as well as area specialists. Alongside an
Atong-English dictionary and five fully-glossed Atong texts recorded during
extensive fieldwork, this work also provides a sizable ethnolinguistic
introduction to the speakers and their culture. Of particular interest is the
pragmatic approach taken for the grammatical analysis. Whereas the form of an
utterance provides some clue as to its possible meaning, inference is always
needed to arrive at the most relevant interpretation within the context in
which the utterance occurs.
