Tibeto-Burman. 330 $aThe languages of mainland Southeast Asia evidence an impressive array of elaborate grammatical resources, such as echo words, phonaesthetic words, chameleon affixes, chiming derivatives, onomatopoeic forms, ideophones and expressives. Speakers of these languages fashion grammatical works of art in order to express and convey emotions, senses, conditions and perceptions that enrich discourse. This book provides a detailed comparative overview of the mechanisms by which aesthetic qualities of speech operate as part of speakers' grammatical knowledge. Each chapter focuses on a different language and explores the grammatical information of a number of well- and lesser-known languages from mainland Southeast Asia. It will be of great interest to syntacticians, morphologists, linguistic anthropologists, language typologists, cognitive scientists interested in language, and instructors of Southeast Asian languages. 607 $aSoutheast Asia$xLanguages$xGrammar, Comparative 607 $aSoutheast Asia$xLanguages$xPhonology, Comparative 607 $aSoutheast Asia$xLanguages$xTone 676 $a495 702 $aWilliams$b Jeffrey P$g(Jeffrey Payne),$f1958- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790809503321 996 $aThe aesthetics of grammar$93673040 997 $aUNINA
