A Grammar of Bunaq


Free Download Schapper, "A Grammar of Bunaq "
English | ISBN: 3110714507 | 2022 | 500 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This is a comprehensive grammar of the Papuan language Bunaq as spoken in the district of Lamaknen. Bunaq belongs to the Timor-Alor-Pantar language family, which comprises the westernmost Papuan languages. Surrounded on all sides by Austronesian languages, Bunaq has developed in isolation from other members of the family, and as a result shows a range of unique morphosyntactic patterns. This grammar provides a detailed synchronic description of Bunaq based on a functional-typological approach. Following additional fieldwork and containing new material and analyses, this book is a thoroughly revised version of the author’s 2010 PhD thesis, which won the Pāṇini Award of the Association for Linguistic Typology.

2008 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 078643886X | PDF | 9 MB
Rod Serling’s anthology series ""The Twilight Zone"" is recognized as one of the greatest shows of all time. Ostensibly science fiction, the show was that and much more; always intelligent and thought-provoking, it used conventions and techniques of several genres – science fiction, fantasy, Westerns, horror, and film noir, among others – to explore such universal human issues as violence, fear, prejudice, love, death, and individual identity.This comprehensive reference work first gives a complete history of the show, from its beginning in 1959 to its final 1964 season. The authors then provide critical commentaries and incisive analyses of all 156 episodes, along with the most complete listing of casts and credits ever published. Biographical profiles of writers and contributors comprise the book’s third main section. Detailed appendices – writers, directors, actors, genres, and a listing of all episodes in order of original airdate – are also included. An extensive bibliography and an exhaustive index conclude the work.

A Conversational Analysis of Acholi Structure and Socio-Pragmatics of a Nilotic Language of Uganda


Free Download A Conversational Analysis of Acholi: Structure and Socio-Pragmatics of a Nilotic Language of Uganda By Maren Rüsch
2020 | 376 Pages | ISBN: 9004437584 | PDF | 6 MB
A Conversational Analysis of Acholi elucidates various interaction strategies for the Nilotic language Acholi. Based on detailed examples, Maren Rüsch links the structural organization of Acholi conversations to cultural features such as politeness, language socialization and narrations. Despite common claims of universality regarding the structuring of human languages by previous authors, the study shows that some Acholi strategies differ from other languages. The verbal and non-verbal practices displayed give an in-depth insight into speakers’ cognitive participation during interaction. On the basis of in-situ research in Uganda, including the collection of rich audio- and video-material, this volume provides an innovative approach to language documentation and description and constitutes a thorough conversation analytic study of an African language.
