Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A handbook for an oral world.Clear, concise, and immediately useful.Alexander Hetherwick's A Handbook Of The Yao Language is a practical yao language handbook and a steady african language guide arising from missionary linguistics and close field observation. This linguistic reference book sets out yao grammar and vocabulary in a direct, no-nonsense register, supplying vocabulary lists and grammatical sketches that support both basic study and comparative enquiry. Useful for students, travellers and researchers, it complements the corpus of african language dictionaries and remains relevant to anyone pursuing bantu languages study. As a resource it sits easily in a language learners collection and makes a thoughtful addition to a field linguists toolkit: accessible to newcomers yet informative to specialists.Composed during nineteenth century Africa scholarship, the handbook documents speech across Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania and preserves a record of linguistic practice from its time. More than an instructional manual, it is a language preservation resource that carries social and historical resonance; casual readers interested in regional history and classic-literature collectors drawn to restored heritage titles will find it rewarding. Today it sits at the intersection of historical documentation and living use: researchers in bantu languages study still consult such texts for comparative vocabulary, and community projects see them as starting points for revitalisation and teaching. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. For casual readers, the handbook offers direct access to nineteenth-century Africa; for linguists and community researchers it supplies dependable reference and a starting point for revitalisation. Collectors of classic literature and the language-curious will prize this edition for its practical value and its quiet historical presence. A welcome recovery for regional scholarship, the volume rewards careful consultation as both study tool and collectible.…
