Abstract:

Atong is a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in Northeast India and Bangladesh. In
this dictionary, Seino van Breugel provides a rigorous, well-illustrated and
well-referenced lexical description of the language, making this book of great
interest and value to general linguists, typologists, as well as area
specialists and cultural anthropologists. Comprising not only of an
Atong-English, but also an English-Atong dictionary, as well as semantic
lexica, this volume is one of the most thorough lexical descriptions of a
Bodo-Garo language to date. The grammatical lexica allow the reader quick
access to lists of members of the various Atong word classes, collocations and
idiomatic expressions. The grammatical compendium makes this book
self-contained, while its many references link it to the rest of the author’s
corpus on the Atong language. The appendix of photos not only provides visual
illustrations to many of the Atong dictionary entries, but also offers the
reader a glance at the physical environment in which the language is spoken.
