Items related to Mainland Southeast Asian Languages: A Concise Typological...
This highly accessible introduction explores the core systems and subsystems of the languages of mainland Southeast Asia, applying the main concepts of language typology, phonology, morphology, syntax, sociolinguistics, language variation, and language contact, to this diverse language area. Written by a leading expert in the languages of this region, N. J. Enfield draws upon nearly a thousand data examples from over a hundred languages from Cambodia, China, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam to show the many ways in which these languages resemble each other, and differ from each other, in the context of what is known globally about the diversity of human language. The book highlights the diversity of the area's languages, with a special emphasis on the minority languages, which outnumber the national languages by nearly a hundred to one. The result is a welcome corrective to widespread beliefs about the nature of a 'typical' Southeast Asian language.

Review:
'This is an extremely readable overview of Mainland Southeast Asian languages, richly illustrated with examples from both minority languages and national languages. Enfield presents a number of areal features not usually mentioned and corrects some common notions about the MSEA type. His engaging discussions get to the heart of the way MSEA languages work.' Martha Ratliff, Wayne State University, Michigan
