Felix K. Ameka (Editor); et al. : Catching Language: The Standing Challenge of Grammar Writing (Trends in Linguistics: Studies and Monographs) (Trends in Linguistics. Studies and Monographs)
Product Description
This is the first book to focus on the problem of writing grammars of little-known languages, a task of major urgency as linguists face the challenge of documenting the many endangered languages around the world. The chapters, all written by distinguished specialists, address the many questions the author of a reference grammar must tackle as they destil the regularities of a whole language into a single integrated volume.
