Asia.This is the second volume to be dedicated to the pioneering linguistic work produced by the religious missionaries who, within the scope of the European colonial enterprises along the period 1550-1850, described dozens of autochthonous languages, many of which are only known today thanks to their endeavours. The twelve papers joint in the present volume - which dedicated special attention to the orthographical and phonological dimension of their work - provide a comprehensive picture of the descriptive problems faced by these linguists avant la lettre, notably: the difficulties faced before the less familiar features of these languages, such as vowel quantity, accentuation, tonality, nasalization, glottalization, 'gutturalization'; the building of (re)definitions and the creation of a new metalanguage, like 'saltillo', 'guturaciones', etc.; The book elucidates the creativity and innovations proposed by individual missionaries and the instructive and pedagogical dimension of their work.Amsterdam studies in the theory and history of linguistic science.Series III,Studies in the history of the language sciences ;v. 109.Language and languagesStudy and teachingHistoryCongressesLanguage and languagesOrthography and spellingStudy and teachingHistoryCongressesGrammar, Comparative and generalPhonologyStudy and teachingHistoryCongressesMissionsLinguistic workCongressesLanguage and languagesStudy and teachingHistoryLanguage and languagesOrthography and spellingStudy and teachingHistoryGrammar, Comparative and generalPhonologyStudy and teachingHistoryMissionsLinguistic work418.0071Zwartjes Otto661928Altman Maria Cristina Salles1817977International Conference on Missionary LinguisticsMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910964299803321Missionary lingustics II4376860UNINA
