{"product_id":"a-grammar-of-coastal-marind-bruno-olsson-9783111120775","title":"A Grammar of Coastal Marind","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis grammar provides the first modern, comprehensive description of Coastal Marind. It is a Papuan language spoken by the coastal-dwelling Marind-Anim, formerly expansionistic head-hunters of the Southern New Guinea lowlands. Like the other languages of the poorly known Anim family, Coastal Marind features astonishingly complex verb morphology and a range of unusual phenomena, including indexing of up to four arguments on the verb, verbal marking of focus (the 'Orientation' system), engagement prefixes tracking the attention of the addressee, and a system of four genders realised by intricate agreement patterns. The structure of the language is examined in a detailed but accessible way, and its many complexities are brought to life by contextualised spontaneous data, drawn from a rich audio-visual corpus. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruno Olsson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3111120775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783111120775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 1.24d","brand":"Bruno Olsson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071218741503,"sku":"9783111120775","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_86de9ba2-fc0e-4fab-a0c7-40032c9edc93.jpg?v=1685434814","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-grammar-of-coastal-marind-bruno-olsson-9783111120775","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
