Download or read book The Distribution of Genetical Morphological and Behavioural Traits Among the Peoples of Indian Region written by M. K. Bhasin and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall organization is user friendly. There is strict adherence to the listing of each and every division of each country, even when no statistics were given. Reference (always clearly listed in the tables) follow each topic/chapter. That arrangement certainly facilitates bibliographic searching. This volume appears to be a comprehensive compilation of studies done (some unpublished) through a portion, of 1991. In general, the authors must be commended for their successful efforts in producing such an error free compilation. Most importantly, any compilation such as this must be judged primarily on the grounds of how applicable it will be for researchers and teachers in human biology. Can this volume serve in that capacity? For Human Biologists there would be few times when Bhasin et al. volume is needed, but it would be appreciated on those occasions. For some, those occasions are strung together closely enough to warrant a prompt purchase of the volume.

Download or read book Sociohistorical Linguistics in Southeast Asia written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-07-10 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociohistorical Linguistics in Southeast Asia blends insights from sociolinguistics, descriptive linguistics and historical-comparative linguistics to shed new light on regional Tibeto-Burman language varieties and their relationships across spatial, temporal and cultural differences. The approach is inspired by leading Tibeto-Burmanist, David Bradley, to whom the book is dedicated. The volume includes twelve original research essays written by eleven Tibeto-Burmanists drawing on first-hand field research in five countries to explore Tibeto-Burman languages descended from seven internal sub-branches. Following two introductory chapters, each contribution is focused on a specific Tibeto-Burman language or sub-branch, collectively contributing to the literature on language identification, language documentation, typological analysis, historical-comparative classification, linguistic theory, and language endangerment research with new analyses, state-of-the-art summaries and contemporary applications.

Download or read book A Grammar of Dhimal written by King John T. and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present work, a grammar of Dhimal, fills an important void in the documentation of the vast and ramified Tibeto-Burman language family. Dhimal, a little known and endangered tongue spoken in the lowlands of southeastern Nepal by about 20,000 individuals, is detailed in this work. With data gathered in the village of hiy b r , the author crafts a readable description of the western dialect, using over 1000 examples to illustrate usage. Included in this reference work are seventeen texts, riddles, songs and a Dhimal-English glossary. Joining other recent ground-breaking linguistic descriptions by researchers from the Himalayan Languages Project at Leiden University, this grammar of Dhimal will have lasting scientific value and aid the Dhimal community in preserving their language.
Download or read book The World Atlas of Language Structures written by Martin Haspelmath and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-07-21 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Atlas of Language Structures is a book and CD combination displaying the structural properties of the world's languages. 142 world maps and numerous regional maps - all in colour - display the geographical distribution of features of pronunciation and grammar, such as number of vowels, tone systems, gender, plurals, tense, word order, and body part terminology. Each world map shows an average of 400 languages and is accompanied by a fully referenced description ofthe structural feature in question.The CD provides an interactive electronic version of the database which allows the reader to zoom in on or customize the maps, to display bibliographical sources, and to establish correlations between features. The book and the CD together provide an indispensable source of information for linguists and others seeking to understand human languages.The Atlas will be especially valuable for linguistic typologists, grammatical theorists, historical and comparative linguists, and for those studying a region such as Africa, Southeast Asia, North America, Australia, and Europe. It will also interest anthropologists and geographers. More than fifty authors from many different countries have collaborated to produce a work that sets new standards in comparative linguistics. No institution involved in language research can afford to bewithout it.
