description | The grammar under review here, Randy LaPolla's A Grammar of Qiang, with annotated texts and glossary, is a description of the Yadu subdialect of northern Qiang spoken in Ronghong Village, Yadu Town-ship, Mao County, the subdialect spoken by Chenglong Huang. Com-parisons with other dialects are frequently made either in the text or in the footnotes. The grammar contains a detailed 248 page grammar, 6 transcribed and annotated texts covering 78 pages, a glossary and glos-sary-index covering 89 pages, and a very useful index of the whole work. It is the best grammar to date of any of the Qiang dialects and is likely to remain so for sometime. |
