Description:
|
This book is the first description of Kulung, a complex-pronominalising
Kiranti (Tibeto-Burman) language spoken in eastern Nepal. It contains the
phonology, morphology, and syntax as well as sample texts, verbal
paradigms, and a Kulung-English lexicon. The data presented here were
collected during four field trips which the author undertook to Nepal
between 1992 and 1995. This grammar of Kulung is an exhaustive reference
work for Tibeto-Burman linguistics, language typology, and linguistic
theory. With financial support of the International Institute for Asian
Studies ( http://www.iias.nl).
