Previous Fa d'Ambo grammars are all written in Spanish, either in
the spirit of Latin grammar models (Vila 1891, Barrena 1957) or in
the tradition of Romance philology (Zamora Segorbe 2010). A Grammar
of Fa d'Ambo aims to overcome the shortcomings of these grammars by
providing a comprehensive description of the language from a
creolistic, typological, and general linguistics perspective. The
grammar covers all major domains of grammar and the different types
of interactions between them. The book further includes transcribed
texts (about 12,000 words), a Fa d'Ambo-English word list (about
1,140 entries) and supplementary audio materials corresponding to
the transcribed texts and spectrograms. Being the first
comprehensive Fa d'Ambo grammar written in English, the book aims
at a wide readership of scholars who are interested in creoles,
language typology, and language documentation in general, but also
targets a specialized readership in Portuguese-related creoles. The
grammar is further expected to make a substantial contribution to
our understanding of the relation between Fa d'Ambo and its
better-known sister languages Santome, Angolar, and Lung'Ie
(Principense), spoken on the islands of Sao Tome and Principe. The
supplementary audio materials downloadable below were selected
from: Hagemeijer, Tjerk; Agostinho, Ana Livia; Christofoletti,
Alfredo; Genereux, Michel; Hendrickx, Iris; Mendes, Amalia; Zamora,
Armando. 2014. Fa d'Ambo corpus. Centro de Linguistica da
Universidade de Lisboa (CLUL).
