Download or read book A Grammar of Goemai written by Birgit Hellwig and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-09-29 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first description of Goemai, a West Chadic language of Nigeria. Goemai is spoken in a language contact area, and this contact has shaped Goemai grammar to the extent that it can be considered a fairly untypical Chadic language. The grammar presents the structure of the present-day language, relates it to its diachronic sources, and adds a semantic perspective to the description.

Download or read book Cognitive Foundations of Grammar written by Bernd Heine and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997-11-27 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main function of language is to convey meaning. Therefore, argues Bernd Heine in these pages, the question of why language is structured the way it is must first of all be answered with reference to this function. Linguistic explanations offered in terms of other exponents of language structure (for example, syntax) are likely to highlight peripheral or epi-phenomenal--rather than central--characteristics of language structure. Heine provides a solid introductory treatment of the ways in which language structure (that is, grammar) and language usage can be explained with reference to the processes underlying human conceptualization and communication. Exploring an area of linguistics that has developed only recently and is rapidly expanding, Cognitive Foundations of Grammar will appeal to students of linguistics, psychology, and anthropology, especially those interested in grammaticalization processess.
