There are more native speakers of Sino-Tibetan languages than of
any other language family in the world. Our records of these
languages are among the oldest for any human language, and the
amount of active research on them has multiplied in the last few
decades. Now in its second edition and fully updated to include new
research, The Sino-Tibetan Languages includes overview articles on
individual languages, with an emphasis on the less commonly
described languages, as well as descriptions and comments on the
subgroups in which they occur. There are overviews of the whole
family on genetic classification and language contact, syntax and
morphology, and also on word order typology. There are also more
detailed overview articles on the phonology, morphosyntax, and
writing system of just the Sinitic side of the family.
Supplementing these overviews are articles on Shanghainese,
Cantonese and Mandarin dialects. Tibeto-Burman is reviewed by
genetic or geographical sub-group, with overview articles on some
of the major groups and areas, and there are also detailed
descriptions of 41 individual Tibeto-Burman languages, written by
world experts in the field. Designed for students and researchers
of Asian languages, The Sino-Tibetan Languages is a detailed
overview of the field. This book is invaluable to language
students, experts requiring concise, but thorough, information on
related languages, and researchers working in historical,
typological and comparative linguistics.
