The Handbook of Formosan Languages provides a systematic and comprehensive coverage of the aboriginal languages of Taiwan and of the many ways in which they have been studied. It contains reference articles as well as grammar sketches of a number of Formosan languages, including a few extinct languages, written by leading scholars inthe field.
The handbook includes up-to-date bibliographical references and indices and is illustrated with tables, maps, and other useful figures. An invaluable reference to Formosanists, Austronesianists, and typologists, it will be of interest to linguists more broadly as well.
The Handbook of Formosan Languages is published as a set of three fascicles:
? Part 1, xlviii + 920 pages
? Part 2, x + 474 pages
? Part 3, x + 706 pages
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"With such rich amplitude, the Handbook of Formosan Languages is sure to stimulate a quantum leap forward in studies on the indigenous languages of Taiwan."
