{"product_id":"the-syntax-of-chichewa-sam-mchombo-9780521573788","title":"The Syntax of Chichewa","description":"The main topics covered in this description of the major syntactic structures of Chichewa, a Bantu language widely spoken in Malawi, include phonetic and phonological aspects of the language, clause structure aspects, and interactions between tone and syntactic structure. Sam Mchombo's analysis is supplemented by observations about how the study of African languages, specifically Bantu languages, has contributed to progress in grammatical theory. The text covers debates about the interaction between syntax and the lexicon, as well as the contributions of African linguistic structure to the evaluation of competing grammatical theories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam McHombo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521573785\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521573788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.36w x 0.61d","brand":"Sam McHombo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45264990830847,"sku":"9780521573788","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1bcb2756-fa1c-4bd7-9454-937e680036c6.jpg?v=1713419836","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-syntax-of-chichewa-sam-mchombo-9780521573788","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
