1. Studies in Burmese Linguistics
by Justin Watkins (ed.) 
Price: USD 129.36
Dealer: AbebooksUK, Joseph Burridge Books
Description: ISBN10: 0858835592, ISBN13: 9780858835597, [publisher: Pacific Linguistics, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, Australian National University, Canberra] Softcover xxvi, 331 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm. In English; some in Burmese. Studies in Burmese Linguistics' is a unique collection of articles dedicated to the linguistics of Burmese, a major language of South East Asia with perhaps forty million speakers, more than any other language in the diverse Tibeto-Burman language family. The articles cover various sub-disciplines within linguistics which will be of general interest to a broad constituency of linguists, including the phonology and the phonetics of constituent focus, a synchronic and diachronic treatment of reflexives, a discussion of optionality in morphosyntax, an analysis of the grammaticalisation of the verb 'give' as a causativiser, three complementary articles on the verbal tense-mode-aspect system and two on Old Burmese, the language of 11-13th Century inscriptions. There is also a report of a major German- Burmese lexicography project. The contributors were invited to write on research topics of their own choosing, making the volume a representative of current research on Burmese rather than a systematic linguistic survey of the language. While not all the articles are theory-neutral, the book has been edited to ensure accessibility to a broad readership, as well as consistent transcription, transliteration and linguistic glossing across all the articles.
