Dixon’s (2010a, 2010b, 2012) Basic Linguistic Theory. Working with an extensive corpus of recorded texts supplemented by interactions with native speakers of the language, the author provides the first full grammar of a Kotoko language. The detailed analysis of the phonology, morphology, syntax, and discourse features of Makary Kotoko is from a functional\/typological perspective. Being based on a large number of oral texts, the analysis provides an example-rich description showing the range of variation of the constructions presented while giving insights into Kotoko culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments  List of Figures and Tables  Abbreviations    1 Introduction    2 Phonology    3 Allomorphy    4 Word Classes and Grammatical Markers    5 Nominal Morphology    6 Noun Phrase    7 Numerals and Non-numeral Quantifiers    8 Asymmetric Coordination    9 Concrete and Abstract Thing    10 Adverbs and Ideophones    11 Prepositions and Locative Specifiers    12 Local Adverbial Demonstratives    13 Aspectual\/Modal Coding    14 Verbal Morphology    15 Non-human\/Locative Pronoun lə    16 Locative Particles    17 Verb Argument Structure    18 Reflexive and Reciprocal Markers    19 Arguments of the Verb Phrase    20 Comparison    21 Non-verbal Predication    22 Negation    23 Interrogatives    24 Imperatives and Commands    25 Resumptive Pronouns    26 Information Structure   Topic, Switch Topic, Focus, Contrastive Focus    27 Relative Clauses    28 Complement Clauses    29 Combining Clauses    Appendix A: Interlinearized Texts  Appendix B: Makary Kotoko—English Lexicon  Appendix C: Pronominal Forms  References  Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210793083223,"sku":"9789004422513","price":156.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-grammar-of-makary-kotoko-9789004422513","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
