Abstract:

Kharia, spoken in central-eastern India, is a member of the southern branch
of the Munda family, which forms the western branch of the Austro-Asiatic
phylum, stretching from central India to Vietnam. The present study
provides the most extensive description of Kharia to date and covers all
major areas of the grammar. Of particular interest in the variety of Kharia
described here, is that there is no evidence for assuming the existence of
parts-of-speech, such as noun, adjective and verb. Rather functions such as
reference, modification and predication are expressed by one of two
syntactic structures, referred to here as "syntagmas". The volume will be
of equal interest to general linguists from the fields of typology,
linguistic theory, areal linguistics, Munda linguistics as well as South
Asianists in general.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.
