Abstract:

The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive description of the verbal
system of Bodo, a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in Northeast India,
particularly Assam. The description is primarily based on a 1.2-million-word
Bodo corpus, both written and spoken, involving different genres.

This is the first extensive work solely devoted to the description of the Bodo
verb. The book provides a thorough description of the Bodo verb that will be
comprehensive enough to be of use to Tibeto-Burmanists, on the one hand, and
to language typologists, on the other. Second, it addresses certain pedagogic
issues relating to the teaching of the Bodo language in schools.

The book encompasses a description of verbal roots, formation of verbal stems,
inflection of verbal stems, and distribution of various verb forms in
different types of clauses, such as independent clauses, embedded clauses, and
chained clauses. Finally, a pedagogic perspective is provided with reference
to the morphosyntactic aspects of the Bodo verb.

This book was the winner of the 2016 Peter Lang Young Scholars Competition in
Linguistics.
