[RNLD] Accessible Descriptive or Plain Language Grammars

[Ghil'ad Zuckermann]

Dear Lesley,

It is wonderful to hear from you.

I would be happy to share with you my user-friendly, accessible Barngarla grammar -- as soon as the Barngarla community feels it is appropriate to do so. I shall keep you posted.

Yours ever, Ghil'ad

Subject: [RNLD] Accessible Descriptive or Plain Language Grammars

I am looking for examples of accessible descriptive grammars or plain language/English grammars that aim to be accessible to the language community. If anyone knows of a grammar/s that have been produced for this purpose, particularly in the past 10 years or so, I would be most grateful for a reference or a copy if at all possible. I am also looking for any literature relating to the same.


Kind regards

Lesley Woods
