Abstract:
This book introduces the principles and practice of writing a comprehensive
reference grammar. Several thousand distinct languages are currently spoken
across the globe, each with its own grammatical system and its own selection
of diverse grammatical structures. Comprehensive reference grammars offer a
basis for understanding linguistic diversity and can provide a unique
perspective into the structure and social and cognitive underpinnings of
different languages. Alexandra Aikhenvald describes the means of collecting,
analysing, and organizing data for use in this type of grammar, and discusses
the typological parameters that can be used to explore relationships with
other languages. She considers how a grammar can made to reflect and bring to
life the society of its speakers through background explanation and the
judicious choice of examples, as well as by showing how its language, history,
and culture are intertwined. She ends with a full glossary of terms and
guidance for those wanting to explore a particular linguistic phenomenon or
language family. The Art of Grammar is the ideal resource for students and
teachers of linguistics, language studies, and inductively-oriented
linguistic, cultural, and social anthropology.
