商品簡介
Adding another volume to Routledge's series of descriptive grammars, Rennison (linguistics, U. of Vienna) analyzes in detail a language spoken in the north of Burkina Faso, West Africa, which is being pushed gradually toward extinction by strong linguistic and ecological pressures. Based on what is probably more field work than conducted by any other westerner, he sheds light on many unanswered questions both about Koromfe itself and about other languages in the Gur or Voltaic group that share affinities with many of the phonological, lexical, morphological, and syntactic features he describes.
