Ndyuka (Hardcover)

This volume offers a thorough description of the Ndyuka creole language. Following the "Descriptive Grammar Series" outline, it details a full range of grammatical, phonological and lexical information, written with the interests of formalists, functionalists, creolists and students of language universals and typology in mind. It presents liguistic judgements by both beginning and trained native speakers of Ndyuka, as well as close study of texts. More than 2000 examples of constructions and forms are considered in context and these give the reader a picture of all the stuctural and functional aspects of this radical creole. The authors have been closely acquainted with the Ndyuka language community for more than 25 years and demonstrate the intuitions of Ndyuka speakers. Numerous cross references and an index of forms and topics of special interest supplement the text, facilitating the testing of hypotheses on language universals, typology, creolization and processes such as clefting, relativization and verb serialization.
