Abstract:

Samuel J. Evans wrote this 5th edition of his short grammar on Welsh
in 1908. Originally this work was intended as a textbook for pupils
and students. The grammar includes chapters on orthography and the
alphabet and spelling, etymology (classification, inflection and
derivation of words), gives information on nominal and verbal
morphology with a special focus on the mutation of vowels and
consonants, a special feature of Welsh and Celtic languages in
general. The chapter on syntax includes word order, concord of verb
and subject, the absolute constructions of the verb.The work concludes
with a list of contacted, irregular, and  defective verbs and a
chapter on parsing and analysis. The author sought to illustrate all
rules by means of suitable examples drawn from the classics of Welsh
literature. (Re-edition. Originally published 1908 in Newport).
