New from Panini Press: Sprachgeist Guides for the Linguist on the Go!
Is that dative in the example set you’re looking at really a dative? Is a Karimojong participle the same thing you’d call a participle? As any linguist knows, it’s useful—and sometimes vital—to get an accurate picture of a language you’re not a specialist in, and to do it quickly. Unfortunately, up to now, doing so has involved trying to plow through reference grammars, and we all know the problems with those! Many authors create idiosyncratic terminology sets, use familiar terms in new ways, use examples sets salted with null elements created only by their theories, or go wild with abbreviations. Some are even Tagmemicists! But now you can cut through all that and get all the really important information about a language—its Sprachgeist, if you will—with a volume from Panini Press’s new series! ❦पा
