Abstract:

This grammar provides one of the most detailed accounts available of
the syntax of a Nilo-Saharan language. It fully describes some of the
unusual characteristics of Ma'di, including the different word orders
associated with different tenses, the particle-based modal and focus
systems, the full range of adverbials, and the structure and meaning
of the noun phrase. The grammar also describes the phonetics,
phonology, morphology, and aspects of the lexicon of the language.
