The Oxford Guide to the Uralic Languages de Marianne Bakró-Nagy

The Oxford Guide to the Uralic Languages: Oxford Guides to the World's Languages

Editat de Marianne Bakró-Nagy, Johanna Laakso, Elena Skribnik
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 mar 2022
This volume offers the most comprehensive and wide-ranging treatment available today of the Uralic language family, a group of languages spoken in northern Eurasia. While there is a long history of research into these languages, much of it has been conducted within several disparate national
traditions; studies of certain languages and topics are somewhat limited and in many cases outdated. The Oxford Guide to the Uralic Languages brings together leading scholars and junior researchers to offer a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the internal relations and diversity of the Uralic
language family, including the outlines of its historical development, and the contacts between Uralic and other languages of Eurasia.

The book is divided into three parts. Part I presents the origins and development of the Uralic languages: the initial chapters examine reconstructed Proto-Uralic and its divergence, while later chapters provide surveys of the history and codification of the three Uralic nation-state languages
(Hungarian, Finnish, and Estonian) and the Uralic minority languages from Baltic Europe to Siberia. This part also explores questions of endangerment, revitalization, and language policy. The chapters in Part II offer individual structural overviews of the Uralic languages, including a number of
understudied minority languages for which no detailed description in English has previously been available. The final part of the book provides cross-Uralic comparative and typological case studies of a range of issues in phonology, morphology, syntax, and the lexicon. The chapters explore a number
of topics, such as information structure and clause combining, that have traditionally received very little attention in Uralic studies. The volume will be an essential reference for students and researchers specializing in the Uralic languages and for typologists and comparative linguists more
broadly.

Descriere

This volume offers the most comprehensive and wide-ranging treatment available today of the Uralic language family, a group of languages spoken in northern Eurasia. While there is a long history of research into these languages, much of it has been conducted within several disparate national

Recenzii

This book is a thoroughly admirable compilation. We can be very glad that it has been produced while at least a few speakers of most of these languages survive: a decade or two later it might have become very difficult to achieve such comprehensive coverage of one of the world's major language families. The book is well written and clear, despite the fact that scarcely any contributor has English as his or her mother tongue.
This book is meant for a linguistically oriented readership worldwide, throughout linguistic and related disciplines...I assume that typologists world-wide will also be happy to see this volume.
The Oxford handbook may now be recognized as the most comprehensive and reliable general tool on the Uralic languages...One of the strong sides of the volume is that it consistently relies on the established methods of synchronic and diachronic linguistics without trying to make far-reaching linguistic conclusions by resorting to information from extralinguistic disciplines.
