Annotated Texts in Beṭṭa Kurumba: Brill's Studies in South and Southwest Asian Languages, cartea 10

Autor Gail Coelho
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 oct 2018
Beṭṭa Kurumba is a Dravidian language spoken in the Nilgiri and Waynad Hills of India. Annotated Texts in Beṭṭa Kurumba presents folktales and dialogues in this language, together with a grammatical sketch and a glossary. These interlinearised texts provide rich data for linguistic analysis, as well as some of the earliest published cultural information about a highly understudied ethnic group. The cultural information is presented, for the most part, by the Beṭṭa Kurumbas themselves, who speak in their own native language about aspects of their lifestyle, spiritual beliefs, and social organization into clans.

Recenzii

"The texts in ATBK are only a part of those that Coelho has collected over the past quarter century. Dravidian scholars will applaud her admirable achievement and look forward to the future publication of additional texts and grammatical analysis of this fascinating, understudied language. ATBK is the foundational study on which all subsequent study of BK will stand."
-Sanford B Steever, in Linguist List, Tue Oct 01 2019.
