Language Admixture and Replacement in Northwestern China -- 2. Historical, Religious and Genetic Contexts of Tangwang -- 3. The Tangwang Language Phonology -- 4. Tangwang Morphology -- 5. Tangwang Syntax -- 6. About “mixed language” -- Annex -- Story in Tangwang -- Index.This book studies the Tangwang language, providing the first comprehensive grammar in English of this Chinese variety, with detailed analysis of its phonology, morphology, and syntax. This fills a gap in the literature, as previously only a few articles on this language were available. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, examining genetic data to determine historical patterns of population migration, as well as linguistic data that focus on the influence of the Dongxiang (Santa) language as a consequence of language contact on the Silk Road. The concluding chapter argues that Tangwang has not yet become a mixed language, and that syntactic borrowing has a stronger impact than lexical borrowing on languages.Oriental languagesLanguage and educationGrammarSyntaxOriental Languageshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N32000Language Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O23000Grammarhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N24000Syntaxhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N45000Oriental languages.Language and education.Grammar.Syntax.Oriental Languages.Language Education.Grammar.Syntax.490Xu Danauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut550933BOOK9910252720703321The Tangwang Language2524235UNINA
