Abstract:

A grammar of Kurtöp is the first descriptive grammar of Kurtöp, a threatened
language of Bhutan, and the only reference grammar of any East Bodish
language. The East Bodish languages are a relatively unstudied branch of the
larger Tibeto-Burman family, situated in Bhutan and neighbouring regions in
Tibet and Arunachal Pradesh. The chapters introduce the language and the
people who speak in a historical context and then go on to detail the
synchronic and diachronic phonology, discuss word classes and cause structure,
morphosyntax and syntax, and illustrate rich system of evidentiality and
related categories. The book will be of interest to Tibeto-Burmanists,
historical linguists and those interested in the prehistory of the eastern
Himalayas, and to typologists.
