The grammar at hand is the first fully-fledged grammar of Dolgan in English language: It describes the Dolgan language system from an internal perspective basing on corpus data of natural Dolgan speech. It takes historical, comparative and typological perspectives, if applicable, but refrains from pertaining to a particular linguistic theory. Consequently, both Turcologists and general linguists can make use of it independently from their individual research question.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  Abbreviations  List of Charts, Figures and Maps    1 Introduction   1.1 How to Read This Book   1.2 The Speakers of Dolgan   1.3 Historical and Ethnographical Background   1.4 Traditional Way of Life   1.5 The Language   1.6 Material and Data    2 Phonology and Phonetics   2.1 Vowel System   2.2 Consonant System   2.3 Phonotactics   2.4 Prosody   2.5 Morphonological Processes    3 Word Classes   3.1 Nouns   3.2 Adjectives   3.3 Pronouns   3.4 Numerals and Quantifiers   3.5 Verbs   3.6 Adverbs   3.7 Postpositions   3.8 Particles and Clitics   3.9 Interjections, Conversational Formulas and Onomatopoeia    4 Nominal Inflectional Morphology   4.1 Number   4.2 Case   4.3 Possession   4.4 Predicate Forms of Nominals    5 Pronominal Inflectional Morphology   5.1 Personal Pronouns   5.2 Other Pro-Forms    6 Verbal Inflectional Morphology   6.1 Verbal Stems   6.2 Sets of Personal Endings   6.3 Non-finite Verb Forms   6.4 Tense-Aspect Forms   6.5 Mood, Modality and Illocution   6.6 Evidentiality    7 Non-clausal Syntax   7.1 Noun Phrase   7.2 Adjective Phrase   7.3 Verb Phrase   7.4 Adpositional Phrase   7.5 Adverb Phrase    8 Clausal Syntax—Simple Clauses   8.1 Verbal Predication   8.2 Non-verbal Predication   8.3 Syntax of Adverbials   8.4 Non-declarative Clauses   8.5 Negation in Simple Clauses    9 Clausal Syntax—Complex Clauses   9.1 Clause Chaining   9.2 Coordination   9.3 Subordination    10 Discourse Organization   10.1 Word Order   10.2 Information Structure   10.3 Reference Tracking and Information Status   10.4 False Starts, Fillers and Placeholder Items   10.5 Direct and Indirect Speech    11 Lexicon   11.1 Semantic Fields   11.2 Loanwords    12 Derivational Processes   12.1 Nominal \u0026gt; Nominal   12.2 Verb \u0026gt; Nominal   12.3 Nominal \u0026gt; Verb   12.4 Verb \u0026gt; Verb    13 Sample Texts   13.1 Text 1: The Reindeer and the Mouse   13.2 Text 2: Dolgan Birth Customs   13.3 Text 3: Discussing the Correct Order   13.4 Text 4: We Hit the Road Again   13.5 Text 5: Khatanga’s School—90 Years    14 References    Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210844791127,"sku":"9789004516236","price":172.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-grammar-of-dolgan-a-northern-siberian-turkic-language-of-the-taimyr-peninsula-9789004516236","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
