Abstract:
Tungusic is a small family of languages, many of which are endangered. It
encompasses approximately twenty languages located in Siberia and northern
China. These languages are distributed over an enormous area that ranges from
the Yenisey River and Xinjiang in the west to the Kamchatka Peninsula and
Sakhalin in the east. They extend as far north as the Taimyr Peninsula and,
for a brief period, could even be found in parts of Central and Southern
China.
This book is an attempt to bring researchers from different backgrounds
together to provide an open-access publication in English that is freely
available to all scholars in the field. The contributions cover all branches
of Tungusic and a wide range of linguistic features. Topics include synchronic
descriptions, typological comparisons, dialectology, language contact, and
diachronic reconstruction. Some of the contributions are based on first-hand
data collected during fieldwork, in some cases from the last speakers of a
given language.
