商品簡介
McPherson presents a grammar of Tommo So, a member of the Dogon language family that is spoken on the central plateau of Mali by an estimated 40-60,000 people. Dogon people consider it to be one of the traditional core Dogon languages, and most songs are sung in it regardless of what language the singer speaks. Among the topics are a grammatical sketch, segmental phonology, nominal and adjectival compounds, ideophones and onomatopoeia, postpositions and adverbials, verbal derivation, verb phrases and predicate structure, relativization and clause nominalization, clause chaining and subordination, quotative constructions, and grammatical pragmatics. Six sample texts are provided. Annotation c2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
