This book introduces readers to the remarkable linguistic diversity
of East and Southeast Asia. It contains wide-ranging and accessible
discussions of every important aspect of the languages of the
region, including word origins, cultural key words, tones and
sounds, language families and typology, key syntactic structures,
writing systems, and communicative styles. Students of linguistics
will welcome the book's treatments of celebrated East Asian
features such as classifiers, serial verb constructions, tones,
topic-prominence, and honorifics. It shows students of particular
Asian languages how their language fits structurally and culturally
into the regional language mosaic. With its exercises, solutions,
glossary, and many fascinating cases and insights, the book is an
ideal introduction to descriptive and field linguistics. Cliff
Goddard writes with great clarity and an eye for interesting
examples. His book will appeal to all those with a serious interest
in the languages and cultures of the region.
