Download or read book Handbook of the Ainu Language written by Anna Bugaeva and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-10-24 with total page 868 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume is aimed at preserving invaluable knowledge about Ainu, a language-isolate previously spoken in Hokkaido, Sakhalin, and Kurils, which is now on the verge of extinction. Ainu was not a written language, but it possesses a huge documented stock of oral literature, yet is significantly under-described in terms of grammar. It is the only non-Japonic language of Japan and is typologically different not only from Japanese but also from other Northeast Asian languages. Revolving around but not confined to its head-marking and polysynthetic character, Ainu manifests many typologically interesting phenomena, related in particular to the combinability of various voice markers and noun incorporation. Other interesting features of Ainu include vowel co-occurrence restrictions, a mixed system of expressing grammatical relations, which includes the elements of a rare tripartite alignment, nominal classification distinguishing common and locative nouns, elaborate possessive classes, verbal number, a rich four-term evidential system, and undergrammaticalized aspect, which are all explained in the volume. This handbook, the result of unprecedented cooperation of the leading experts of Ainu, will definitely help to increase the clarity of our understanding of Ainu and in a long-term perspective may provide answers to problems of human prehistory as well as open the field of Ainu studies to the world and attract many new students.

Download or read book Our Land Was A Forest written by Kayano Shigeru and published by Westview Press. This book was released on 1994-04-06 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a beautiful and moving personal account of the Ainu, the native inhabitants of Hokkaido, Japan's northern island, whose land, economy, and culture have been absorbed and destroyed in recent centuries by advancing Japanese. Based on the author's own experiences and on stories passed down from generation to generation, the book chronicles the disappearing world—and courageous rebirth—of this little-understood people.Kayano describes with disarming simplicity and frankness the personal conflicts he faced as a result of the tensions between a traditional and a modern society and his lifelong efforts to fortify a living Ainu culture. A master storyteller, he paints a vivid picture of the Ainus' ecologically sensitive lifestyle, which revolved around bear hunting, fishing, farming, and woodcutting.Unlike the few existing ethnographies of the Ainu, this account is the first written by an insider intimately tied to his own culture yet familiar with the ways of outsiders. Speaking with a rare directness to the Ainu and universal human experience, this book will interest all readers concerned with the fate of indigenous peoples.

Download or read book Handbook of the Ainu Language written by Anna Bugaeva and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook is aimed at preserving invaluable knowledge about Ainu, the only non-Japonic language of Japan, which is now on the verge of extinction. Ainu was not a written language but it possesses a huge documented stock of oral literature, yet is significantly under-described in terms of grammar. As an isolate with no known relatives, Ainu is of great significance to linguistic typology because of the many rare or unique features that its grammar exhibits. Although Ainu is a language widely cited in the typological literature, most of the published typological work relies on secondary sources. The aim of this volume is to present an updated quality description of Ainu, which will be based only on primary sources. The interesting features of Ainu include noun incorporation, a wealth of voices, vestiges of vowel harmony, a mixed system of expressing grammatical relations with the elements of tripartite alignment, nominal classification distinguishing common and locative nouns, a four-term evidential system, and verbal number. This handbook, presenting a case of unprecedented cooperation of the leading experts of Ainu, will definitely help to increase the clarity of our understanding of Ainu, open the field of Ainu studies to the world and attract many new students.
