Sommario/riassunto |
|
South Asia presents the linguist with a bewildering variety of regional dialects, social dialects, formal and informal registers, literary standards, languages, writing systems, and language families. Written over a period of more than twenty years, these essays by a leading authority on South Asian language cover a broad range of topics in South Asian linguistics. The essays address social dialect, structural borrowing, areal linguistics, the relation between literary and colloquial standards, and the role of written language in South Asian culture from the times of the ancient Indus Valley c |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Field Trip Guidebooks Series, Volume 308. This guidebook describes the geology of areas we will visit in the western Klamath Mountains and Coast Ranges of northernmost California. Articles are arranged in the order of our travel, from Medford to Crescent City on highway 199, and south to Eureka on coastal highway 101. Authors summarize the regional geologic setting and results of their research and earlier studies of the areas we will visit in review papers. Thus the geologic background necessary for interpretation of field stops is provided without the need of additional papers. |
