Sarvasy. 330 $aA Grammar of Nungon is the most comprehensive modern reference grammar of a language of northeast Papua New Guinea. Nungon is a previously-undescribed Finisterre-Huon Papuan language spoken by about 1,000 people in the Saruwaged Mountains, Morobe Province. Hannah Sarvasy provides a rich description of the language in its cultural context, based on original immersion fieldwork. The exposition is extraordinarily thorough, covering phonetics, phonology, word classes, morphology, grammatical relations, switch-reference, valency, complex predicates, clause combining, possession, information structure, and the pragmatics of communication. Four complete interlinearized Nungon monologues and dialogues supplement the copious textual examples. A Grammar of Nungon sets a new standard of thoroughness for reference works on languages of this region. 410 0$aGrammars and Sketches of the World's Languages$v4. 606 $aNungon language$xGrammar 606 $aFinisterre-Huon languages$xGrammar 606 $aPapuan languages$xGrammar 606 $aLinguistics$zPapua New Guinea$zMorobe Province 607 $aPapua New Guinea$xLanguages 607 $aMorobe Province (Papua New Guinea)$xLanguages 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNungon language$xGrammar. 615 0$aFinisterre-Huon languages$xGrammar. 615 0$aPapuan languages$xGrammar. 615 0$aLinguistics 676 $a499.12 700 $aSarvasy$b Hannah S.$01068213 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511993703321 996 $aA grammar of Nungon$92552767 997 $aUNINA
