{"product_id":"modality-in-underdescribed-languages-jozina-vander-klok-9783111631691","title":"Modality in Underdescribed Languages: Methods and Insights","description":"Current semantic fieldwork research has shown that the study of modality cannot be conducted via translation alone, yet much of what we know about modal expressions across the world's language is still translation-based. This book aims to facilitate the study of modality across more diverse languages and a wider participant base by explaining and illustrating a nuanced set of methods, including storyboards, questionnaires, corpora research, experimental tasks, as well as a discussion of practical semantic fieldwork techniques. The methodological protocols tested and employed by the authors on underdescribed languages - spanning seven different language families - are intended to be applicable as cross-linguistic tools, while also indicating the successes and challenges of their contributions. Expanding the study of modality to a wider set of underdescribed languages will undoubtedly bring new insights into our theoretical understanding of modality and deepen our understanding of a cross-linguistic typology of modal expressions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jozina Vander Klok\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3111631699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783111631691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter Mouton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.87d","brand":"Jozina Vander Klok","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459680088319,"sku":"9783111631691","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b64bb229-edd3-415e-98e6-b79d5cc68c72.jpg?v=1777411225","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modality-in-underdescribed-languages-jozina-vander-klok-9783111631691","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
