The East Bodish languages are a relatively unstudied branch of the larger Tibeto-Burman family, situated in Bhutan and neighbouring regions in Tibet and Arunachal Pradesh. The chapters introduce the language and the people who speak in a historical context and then go on to detail the synchronic and  diachronic phonology, discuss word classes and cause structure, morphosyntax and syntax, and illustrate rich system of evidentiality and related categories.  The book will be of interest to Tibeto-Burmanists, historical linguists and those interested in the prehistory of the eastern Himalayas, and to typologists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[...], this book will prove indispensible for anyone interested in reconstructing the common ancestors of Tibetan and East Bodish languages and as such is undoubtedly a welcome addition to the expanding field of Tibeto-Burman Linguistics - Joanna Bialek, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210669056343,"sku":"9789004292505","price":141.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-grammar-of-kurtop-9789004292505","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
