{"product_id":"grammatical-reconstruction-don-daniels-9783110777130","title":"Grammatical Reconstruction: The Sogeram Languages of New Guinea","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is still widespread disagreement among historical linguists about how, or whether, syntactic reconstruction can be done. This book presents a comprehensive methodology for syntactic reconstruction, grounded in a constructional understanding of language. The author then uses that methodology to reconstruct Proto-Sogeram, the ancestor to ten languages in Papua New Guinea. Chapters are devoted to phonology, lexicon, verbal morphosyntax, nominal morphosyntax, and syntactic constructions. The work culminates in a sketch of Proto-Sogeram grammar. Based largely on the author's original fieldwork, this is an innovative application of a novel methodology to new data, and the most complete reconstruction of a Papuan proto-language to date. It will be of interest to scholars of language change, language reconstruction, typology, and Papuan languages. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Don Daniels\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110777134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110777130\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 01\/31\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.80d","brand":"Don Daniels","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046269120767,"sku":"9783110777130","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d741039-09d3-4db3-ba72-2e7555392ecd.jpg?v=1684983619","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/grammatical-reconstruction-don-daniels-9783110777130","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
