Book Synopsis Tungusic languages: Past and present by : Andreas Hölzl

Download or read book Tungusic languages: Past and present written by Andreas Hölzl. This book was released on 2022-10-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tungusic is a small family of languages, many of which are endangered. It encompasses approximately twenty languages located in Siberia and northern China. These languages are distributed over an enormous area that ranges from the Yenisey River and Xinjiang in the west to the Kamchatka Peninsula and Sakhalin in the east. They extend as far north as the Taimyr Peninsula and, for a brief period, could even be found in parts of Central and Southern China. This book is an attempt to bring researchers from different backgrounds together to provide an open-access publication in English that is freely available to all scholars in the field. The contributions cover all branches of Tungusic and a wide range of linguistic features. Topics include synchronic descriptions, typological comparisons, dialectology, language contact, and diachronic reconstruction. Some of the contributions are based on first-hand data collected during fieldwork, in some cases from the last speakers of a given language.

Book Synopsis The Tungusic Languages by : Alexander Vovin

Download or read book The Tungusic Languages written by Alexander Vovin. This book was released on 2023-08-31. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tungusic Languages is a survey of Tungusic, a language family which is seriously endangered today, but which at the time of its maximum spread was present all over Northeast Asia. This volume offers a systematic succession of separate chapters on all the individual Tungusic languages, as well as a number of additional chapters containing contextual information on the language family as a whole, its background and current state, as well as its history of research and documentation. Manchu and its mediaeval ancestor Jurchen are important historical literary languages discussed in this volume, while the other Tungusic languages, around a dozen altogether, have always been spoken by small, local, though in some cases territorially widespread, populations engaged in traditional subsistence activities of the Eurasian taiga and steppe zones and the North Pacific coast. All contributors to this volume are well-known specialists on their specific topics, and, importantly, all the authors of the chapters dealing with modern languages have personal experience of linguistic field work among Tungusic speakers. This volume will be informative for scholars and students specialising in the languages and peoples of Northeast Asia, and will also be of interest to those engaged with linguistic typology, cultural anthropology, and ethnic history who wish to obtain information on the Tungusic languages.

Book Synopsis Recent Advances in Tungusic Linguistics by : Lindsay J. Whaley

Download or read book Recent Advances in Tungusic Linguistics written by Lindsay J. Whaley. This book was released on 2012. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tungusic languages are spoken across most of eastern Siberia and northern China. Because all of the Tungusic languages are endangered, the opportunity to learn more about the structures of these languages in the future will become limited. Recent Advances in Tungusic Linguistics includes invited contributions from sixteen specialists on Tungusic from all over the world. The volume presents research that is representative of the current scientific knowledge. It includes papers of a comparative orientation in the tradition of Tungusic studies, but also addresses new domains (e.g. discourse), as well as employing new methods (e.g. new possibilities of acoustic analysis in phonetic research and the use of semantic maps in morphosyntax). All essays have a typological orientation, even though they draw on the material from individual Tungusic languages. With the varied conception of this volume, the editors Lindsay J. Whaley and Andrej L. Malchukov aim at stimulating further interaction and collaboration in the domain of Tungusic studies.

Book Synopsis The Manchu-Tungusic Languages by : A. Vovin

Download or read book The Manchu-Tungusic Languages written by A. Vovin. This book was released on 2005. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Manchu-Tungusic languages constitute a linguistically well-defined but geographically widely-dispersed family of about a dozen separate languages distributed in Siberia, Central and East Asia. Although a considerable amount of descriptive, historical and field work has been carried out on these languages in Russia and China, little is known about them in the west, since almost all available publications are either in Russian or in Chinese. An up-to-date survey of this language family aimed at the western reader is therefore long overdue.
