DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book takes a detailed look at two differing complex predicates in the South Asian language Urdu. The Urdu permissive in particular brings into focus the problem of the syntax-semantics mismatch. An examination of the syntactic properties of this complex predicate shows that it is formed by the combination of two semantic heads, but that this combination is not mirrored in the syntax in terms of any kind of syntactic or lexical incorporation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This volume collects twenty-nine published and unpublished papers by the linguist James Gair, considered the foremost western scholar of the Sri Lankan languages Sinhala and Jaffna Tamil. Ranging over thirty years, his work also considers issues in a variety of Indian languages, including Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Bengali. The collection reflects the wide range of Gair's interests, from morpho-syntactic questions to questions regarding historical and areal linguistics, especially language contact and diglossia, and extending to language acquisition. By collecting these papers and making them newly accessible, this volume will provide an important resource not only for scholars of these languages but for linguists interested in the theoretical issues Gair explores.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ...of a narrative or tale. s? 'some, ' is used as a partitive article with a noun in the singular number, as ji 'bring some water.' The pronouns 'this' and sj 'that' are occasionally employed for the definite article, with the power of 'the, ' rather than of 'this' and'that.' j (j-jt J j_y 'men andwomen (were) buy ci-jyi ing and selling together.' e=$j J, Jiji 'girls and boys were stand ing.' In the first three examples a decided preference is shown for the masculine gender, and in the next two for the nearest nominative. In the others the preference may be for the masculine per se, or on account of its being the gender of the nearest noun. Compare the rules for the agreement of the Genitive and the Adjective. 187. The names of two or more things of similar nature or character are often taken as an aggregate and have a singular verb. L, T ujS? jy 'a storm and typhoon came.' vj-isjj j ts-.y 'companionship and converse have been obtained.' iT j JU J 'every moment there is lamentation and groaning.' 188. An Arabic plural is often, but not always, joined to a verb in the singular number: having no Hindustani mark of plurality about it, the sense conveyed by it is singular or of an aggregate character. jd Ljl uJlLft l uJ 'your majesty's favours are such.' Jf U- Ojju-c '(many) kinds of good forJSj tune will accrue to him.' 189. A Nominative case is sometimes put independently at the beginning of a sentence without any verb; but it is followed by a relative connected with a verb. In this construction the words " this is " or "there is" (the French "void, wild "), seem to be understood. iLialj f-jLj CXLt '(This is) Malik-i Sadik _jl' cltJ u wn0 s of e Jins: ijj jlj ijj ci your father had formed...
