| description | This volume on the Yanghuang (autonym: Then) language is a welcome addition to the field of Kadai linguistics. It is a sketch gram¬mar which provides a large amount of information for the compara¬tive linguist, although there should be much of interest to the formal linguist and typologist as well. Since Yanghuang is a Kam-Sui lan¬guage, it should complement two other volumes in this series (A Study of Mo (Mak) by Yong Tongyin, and A Study of Mulao (Mulam), also by Bo Wenze) as part of a greater comparative study of Kam-Sui. The review below is meant to be a general summary of the contents of the book, so that the reader can become familiar with var¬ious aspects which might be useful in their research. A more general overview is given at the end. |
