A Grammar of Karbi

[Randy LaPolla]

Hi All,
Linda Konnerth's recent PhD dissertation, A Grammar of Karbi, is now available from the Tibeto-Burman Domain:

and from

Karbi is a Tibeto-Burman (TB) language spoken by half a million people in the Karbi Anglong district in Assam, Northeast India, and surrounding areas in the extended Brahmaputra Valley area. This dissertation offers a description of the dialect spoken in the hills of the Karbi Anglong district. It is primarily based on a corpus that was created during a total of fifteen months of original fieldwork, while building on and expanding on research reported by Grüßner in 1978. While the exact phylogenetic status of Karbi inside TB has remained controversial, this dissertation points out various putative links to other TB languages. Audio files are available of the texts given in the appendices, particular examples illustrating phonological issues, and phonetic recordings of tone minimal sets: https://scholarsbank.uoregon.edu/xmlui/handle/1794/13657
