The book appears little used. Binding firm and square. Pages clean and bright throughout. No inscriptions, marks or annotations observed. Dust jacket pr…esent and in very good condition with only the lightest signs of handling. This substantial linguistic study examines the standard spoken form of Tamil, a major Dravidian language spoken by tens of millions of people in India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Singapore. The spoken language differs strikingly from the classical literary standard codified in the medieval period, and this work provides one of the first systematic grammars of the modern spoken variety. Schiffman draws on extensive native speaker consultation and many years of teaching Tamil to English speaking students. The work is therefore valuable both to professional linguists and to serious students of modern Tamil. A notable feature is the consistent presentation of examples both in Tamil script and in transliteration, making the material accessible even to readers who are still acquiring the script. The grammar describes phonology, morphology and syntax in a clear reference format, with numerous illustrative examples from everyday speech. Contents include Phonology and transliteration The nominal system The Tamil verb phrase Pronouns and pro forms Adjectives Syntax introduction Complex syntax and related topics Appendix Literary Tamil equivalents of spoken Tamil paradigms Published by Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1999. A valuable reference work for linguists, students of Dravidian languages, and anyone interested in the structure of modern spoken Tamil.
