Abstract:

This book presents a comprehensive grammatical description of Longxi Qiang, a
little-studied Qiang language of Sichuan. It contains 14 chapters that covers
phonology, nominal and verbal form classes, adverbs, nominal morphology,
aspect, person, mood, evidentiality, epistemic modality, negation, structure
of clause, clause combining and discourse features.

Longxi Qiang is a tonal, verb-final, agglutinative language. It is a
head-marking and dependent-marking language. Nominal morphological processes
in Longxi Qiang include compounding, derivation and inflection. Verbal
morphology includes person, aspect, mood, direction, causation, evidentiality,
and negation morphemes. Agentive marking in Longxi Qiang is semantically and
pragmatically motivated, not syntactically motivated. Person markers reflect
aspect to a great degree. Co-reference in texts can be realized by a pronoun,
ellipsis, a repeated form and by lexical replacement.

The production of this book is based on the author’s PhD dissertation. One of
the examiners comments that the completion of this dissertation is an
important achievement, filling a lacuna in the description of endangered
languages of Southern China.
