Abstract:
A Grammar of Nungon is the most comprehensive modern reference grammar of a
language of northeast Papua New Guinea. Nungon is a previously-undescribed
Finisterre-Huon Papuan language spoken by about 1,000 people in the Saruwaged
Mountains, Morobe Province. Hannah Sarvasy provides a rich description of the
language in its cultural context, based on original immersion fieldwork. The
exposition is extraordinarily thorough, covering phonetics, phonology, word
classes, morphology, grammatical relations, switch-reference, valency, complex
predicates, clause combining, possession, information structure, and the
pragmatics of communication. Four complete interlinearized Nungon monologues
and dialogues supplement the copious textual examples. A Grammar of Nungon
sets a new standard of thoroughness for reference works on languages of this
region.
