E-Book Overview
Berlin, 2016. ― 463 p. — (Studies in Diversity Linguistics 8).
This grammar of Palula is essentially a revised version of my doctoral thesis, successfully defended at Stockholm University in June 2008, at the time titled Towards a grammatical description of Palula. Since then, the text has been subject to a series of necessary corrections, structural as well as content-related changes and a few but substantial additions, and it is my sincere hope that the end result is an improved product as far as user-friendliness, comprehensiveness and accuracy are concerned.
