{"product_id":"foregrounding-marking-shift-in-sundanese-rama-munajat-9783639090192","title":"Foregrounding Marking Shift in Sundanese Written Narrative Segments","description":"This monograph reports a dissertation research on how a long-term linguistic contact affects discourse information marking of narrative segments. It particularly looks at the surface patterns and underlying linguistic principles used to describe the foregrounding events in traditional and modern short stories, written in Indonesian (the official language of Indonesia) and Sundanese (the native language of West Java Province). Indonesian and Sundanese have been in an intensive contact since 1945. The cross-linguistic data show how some 60- year of interaction between these two languages appears to have impacted on how Sundanese depicts foregrounding events in the modern texts. This newly adopted strategy suggests a gradual shift from particle to active-voice markings. Such a structural shift suggests not only the use of a new unmarked word-order pattern, but also motivates changes in pragmatic relations among the constituents of the marking patterns as well as the structuring of given- new information.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rama Munajat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639090195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639090192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Rama Munajat","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44149459091711,"sku":"9783639090192","price":85.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bdb056d8-b2e5-47cd-b233-4ba87800289a.jpg?v=1688456833","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/foregrounding-marking-shift-in-sundanese-rama-munajat-9783639090192","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
