Unfortunately, most of these languages remain understudied or even unstudied. Such is the case of Yichun Gan.Written in the style of a reference grammar, this book sets out to give a comprehensive and systematic description of Yichun grammar, with the aim of increasing readers' knowledge about Chinese languages other than Mandarin. In addition to common categories like nouns, verbs, adjectives and prepositions, the volume attempts to cover as many grammatical categories and constructions as possible, including the Sinitic-specific categories such as classifiers, the aspect system, postpositions and the object-marking BA constructions.To highlight its uniqueness, the book adopts a comparative perspective to contrast many features of Yichun Gan with Mandarin and other Sinitic languages. Our study shows that Yichun Gan possesses both Northern and Southern Chinese traits in many constructions, which supports its status as a transitional language.It will be of interest to linguists who wish to learn more about East Asian languages, and more specifically Sinitic languages.Sinitic languages of China ;Volume 1.Gan dialects (China)GrammarChinese languageDialectsGrammarGrammar.Language Typology.Sinitic Language.Yichun Gan.Gan dialects (China)Grammar.Chinese languageDialectsGrammar.495.17Li XuPing1599747MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824120703321A grammar of Gan Chinese3922559UNINA01140nam0 22002891i 450 UON0009108220240212093124.52734-470-3487-420020107d1994 |0itac50 bagerDE|||| |||||ˆDas ‰hurritische Epos der Freilassung IUntersuchungen zu einem hurritisch-hethitischen Textensemble aus HattušaErich NeuWiesbadenHarrassowitz1994596 p.24 cm001UON000409712001 Studien zu den Boğazköy-Texten32LINGUA HURRITATESTI EPICIUONC027783FIDEWiesbadenUONL003153GLOTTOLOGIAANeuErichUONV026855171179HarrassowitzUONV245869650ITSOL20250117RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00091082SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI GLOTT B 6 V 003/32 primo piano pSI MC 20119 5 003/32 primo piano pHurritische Epos der Freilassung I1304333UNIOR
