Download or read book Descriptive Grammar of Pashto and its Dialects written by Anne David and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-12-12 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pashto/Pushto/Pukhto is a group of varieties used by as many as 30 million people in Afghanistan and Pakistan, yet a grammar describing these varieties collectively has not been published. The CASL Pashto grammar originates from extensive use of both primary and secondary materials. It attends to features of both spoken and written forms of Pashto and exemplifies the latter generously with naturally-occurring sentences. Detailed descriptions are provided of the phonology and orthography and of the inflectional and derivational morphology applied to all major word classes, with special attention to the complex morphology of verb formation and descriptions of the multiple pronominal systems. Notes on some of the prominent syntactic constructions are provided as a descriptive basis for learners of Pashto and for those interested in syntactic properties characteristic of South Asian languages. For the first time, the highly distinctive Middle dialects, including Waziri, receive attention next to the other major dialect groups. A formal grammar focusing on the morphology is an available companion work.

Book excerpt: This dissertation covers Pashto phonology, morphology and syntax from a historical perspective and tries to partially close a lacuna in the field of Pashto linguistics as well as Indo-Iranian linguistics more broadly. Despite Pashto being the second-most spoken Iranian language (after Persian), all areas of Pashto grammar are understudied, even when compared to other Iranian languages like Kurdish. This work is the first general historical grammar of Pashto and in addition to new contributions to our understanding of Pashto, it aims to serve as a reference for further historical linguistic research on other Eastern Iranian languages. Pashto is only attested for about half a millennium, and no attested Middle Iranian language can be considered a direct ancestor of Pashto. It is characterized by both archaisms and innovations which make it a rich and complex language to investigate from a diachronic and synchronic perspective. This historical study reconstructs the evolution of Pashto from Old Iranian via Middle Pashto and Early New Pashto to the contemporary varieties, with special attention to phonology (e.g. the sound changes and phoneme inventories in the respective stages of the language), morphology (e.g. case morphology, the relationship of past and present stems) and syntax (e.g. split-ergativity). The new findings in this work also suggest that Middle Pashto was an interesting Middle Iranian language, with its consonant phoneme inventory being similar to that of Bactrian, but with a conservative case system comparable to that of Sogdian and Khotanese and a distinction of light and heavy (verbal and nominal) stems similar to what we know from Sogdian (although the Sogdian light and heavy stems work differently).

Download or read book A Reference Grammar of Romanian written by Carmen Dobrovie-Sorin and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2013-11-15 with total page 930 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on recent research in formal linguistics, this volume provides a thorough description of the whole system of Romanian Noun Phrases, understood in an extended sense, that is, in addition to nouns, pronouns and determiners, it examines all the adnominal phrases: genitive-marked DPs, adjectives, relative clauses, appositions, prepositional phrases, complement clauses and non-finite modifiers. The book focuses on syntax and the syntax-semantics interface but also includes a systematic morphological description of the language. The implicitly comparative description of Romanian contained in the book can serve as a starting point for the study of the syntax/semantics of Noun Phrases in other languages, regardless of whether or not they are typologically related to Romanian. This book will be of special interest to linguists working on Romanian, Romance languages, comparative linguistics and language typology, especially because Romanian is relevant for comparative linguistics not only as a Romance language, but also as part of the so-called Balkan Sprachbund.
