Abstract:

This book studies the Tangwang language, providing the first comprehensive
grammar in English of this Chinese variety, with detailed analysis of its
phonology, morphology, and syntax. This fills a gap in the literature, as
previously only a few articles on this language were available. The book takes
an interdisciplinary approach, examining genetic data to determine historical
patterns of population migration, as well as linguistic data that focus on the
influence of the Dongxiang (Santa) language as a consequence of language
contact on the Silk Road. The concluding chapter argues that Tangwang has not
yet become a mixed language, and that syntactic borrowing has a stronger
impact than lexical borrowing on languages.
