Abstract:

Tshobdun Rgyalrong is a distinct, morphology-rich Sino-Tibetan language spoken
in northwestern Sichuan. This book comprises an original collection of
Tshobdun annotated spoken texts, accompanied by a synopsis of the phonology
and grammar of the language. The oral tradition of storytelling used to be a
primary means of cultural transmission and participatory entertainment in
Tshobdun and other Rgyalrong communities. This tradition is sadly no longer
practiced. The current volume of seventy-five carefully selected texts
represents a substantial new contribution to the preservation and linguistic
analysis of Rgyalrong spoken data. The data contained in this book were
collected during extensive fieldwork conducted over the past two decades,
representing the native speech of co-author Bstan’dzin Blogros. This book is
intended for all readers interested in the structures of Sino-Tibetan
languages and in the local cultures and folklore of non-Sinitic populations of
southwest China.
