Abstract:
With its many and diverse languages, including some with very long
documented histories, its cultural diversity, and its widespread
multilingualism -- both the stable and transient kind -- the Himalayan
region is a treasure trove of empirical data for linguistic research
on language typology and univer-sals, historical linguistics, language
contact and areal linguistics. Himalayan Languages contains
contributions on Hima-layan linguistics written by some of the leading
experts in the field.
The volume is divided into three parts: First, a general over-view is
given of the linguistic study of Himalayan languages and language
communities. The second part offers synchronic studies of individual
languages of the region (Indo-Aryan languages Shina and Kalasha, and
Tibeto-Burman languages Belhare, Magar, Kinnauri, Classical Tibetan
and Thangmi). The papers in the third part of the volume address
topics in historical and areal linguistics, with an emphasis on the
Tibeto-Burman languages of the region, discussing grammaticalization
processes (in Sunwar, Newar, Seke, Tshangla and Bantawa) and the
subgrouping of Tibeto-Burman.
