Abstract:

A Grammar of Bjokapakha by Selin Grollmann constitutes the first description
of Bjokapakha, an endangered language spoken in central Bhutan belonging to
the Tshangla branch of Trans-Himalayan. This grammar comprises a description
of the phonology, lexicon, nominal morphology, predicate structures and
syntax. In addition to the descriptive parts, this book encompasses a
historical-comparative account of Bjokapakha. The introductory chapter
provides a comparison with the standard variety of Tshangla and corroborates
the internal diversity of the Tshangla branch. The present-day structure of
Bjokapakha verbal morphology is illuminated by means of an internal
reconstruction. Moreover, this book contains a glossary and a text collection.
