Abstract:

This thesis focuses on describing the recipient construction of Naxi, a minority language spoken in the Naxi autonomous county in the northwestern Yunnan province of China. The Naxi language belongs to the Yi language branch of the Tibeto-Burman language family. It has been a matter of great importance to document Naxi in its entirety because it is seriously endangered.

The basic grammar is introduced in Chapt ... Читать дальше »

This volume deals with the complex question of time and aspect in ancient Egyptian. The first part presents an original theoretical model which challenges some well-established facts in general linguistics. The functioning of aspect is explained as a dialectic process between the grammatical tenses, the actionality of events, the semantic roles of the participants, and diverse lexical means. The second part examines the expression of aspect in ancient Egyptian, with a diachronic presentation from the beginning down to Late Egyptian. The third and last part is devoted to the study of the tempor ... Читать дальше »

Ancient Egyptian: A Linguistic Introduction

This book is neither a grammar of Ancient Egyptian for Egyptologists nor a handbook for the study of hieroglyphs. Rather, it has been written aiming at the needs of a multiplicity of audiences. To use a fashionable word, I wanted to address the interdisciplinary interests of linguists and Egyptologists. In order to achieve this result, I had to resort to sometimes quite diverse methodological frames and scholarly conventions, which have been and are at best indifferent to each other, and at times even in overt conflict. On the one hand, the main goal of the book is to provide the linguistic audience with an introduct ... Читать дальше »

A Grammar of the Pukhto, Pushto or Language of the Afghans
Author: H.G. Raverty
Publisher: Williams and Norgate
Publication date: 1857
Number of pages: 268
Format / Quality: djvu
Size: 10 MB

If you are interested in Afghanistan, you will have encountered Major Raverty, in part because his dictionary has not been superseded in English (I think it's available on this site).

For some reason, it seems that the grammar has not been posted here. In recent years, it's been reprinted a lot (I wonder why?), but in bastardized editions, without the copious poetry examples which illustrate the grammatical points.

The man on the image is not Raverty, but rather Khushal Khan Khattak, a poet and warrior especially revered by Pashtuns. Maybe I will post his poetry as well in days to come.

The first of the two volumes — Circum-Baltic Languages: Volume 1 — Past and Present—surveys important sub-groups in the present-day Circum-Baltic languages,
placing them in their geographical, historical and societal setting and discussing specific contact situations.

Uebersetzungen persischer Poesie (Zweisprachig)
Author: F. Rueckert
Publisher: Harrassowitz
Publication date: various
Number of pages: 70
Format / Quality: pdf
Size: 8 MB

Here is a lovely little book of Persian poetry!

Friedrich Rueckert was a German scholar who worked with some 40 languages. He was also a poet, and his translations from Persian specifically rank among the best in German. The only person to surpass him in that respect was Annemarie Schimmel, who greatly admired him and wrote the foreword for this edition.

In German and Persian. The Persian is just standard naskh, when a nicer font or calligraphy would have been more appropriate.

An Introduction to the Comparative Grammar of the Semitic Languages

The nature of this book and the principles which guided its composition depend in the first place on the series to which it belongs. It is thus an elementary introduction to the comparative grammar of the Semitic languages, intended primarily as a textbook and limited in its scope so as to serve for a beginners' course. Such an introduction must be clear in expression while respecting scientific terminology; it must concentrate upon the essential facts while mentioning various particular questions of special importance; it must avoid doubtful and disputed hypotheses while indicating certa ...

Das gemeinsamojedische Teil des "Samojedischen Wortschatzes" enthält eine Liste derjenigen aus den wesentlichsten heute verfügbaren Quellen erschliessbaren ursamojedischen Wortstämme, die mindestens aus je einer nord- und südsamojedischen Sprache belegt sind. Da das Verzeichnis in erster Linie für eine lautgeschichtliche Betrachtung der samojedischen Sprachen zusammengestellt worden ist, wird auf Literaturhinweise zur früheren Behandlung einzelner Etymologien verzichtet: die kritische Sichtung der samojedologischen wortgeschichtlichen Literatur wäre ein anderes, unabhängiges Unternehmen. Es ist jedoc ... Читать дальше »
