Abstract:

A Grammar of Darma provides the first comprehensive description of this
Tibeto-Burman language spoken in Uttarakhand, India. The analysis is informed
by a functional-typological framework and draws on a corpus of data gathered
through elicitation, observation and recordings of natural discourse. Every
effort has been made to describe day-to-day language, so whenever possible,
illustrative examples are taken from extemporaneous speech and contextualized.
Sections of the grammar should appeal widely to scholars interested in South
Asia’s languages and cultures, including discussions of the socio-cultural
setting, the sound system, morphosyntactic, clause and discourse structure.
The grammar’s interlinearized texts and glossary provide a trove of useful
information for comparative linguists working on Tibeto-Burman languages and
anyone interested in the world’s less-commonly spoken languages.
