A Grammar of Bjokapakha
Brill (Verlag)
978-90-04-43522-3 (ISBN)
A Grammar of Bjokapakha by Selin Grollmann constitutes the first description of Bjokapakha, an endangered language spoken in central Bhutan belonging to the Tshangla branch of Trans-Himalayan. This grammar comprises a description of the phonology, lexicon, nominal morphology, predicate structures and syntax. In addition to the descriptive parts, this book encompasses a historical-comparative account of Bjokapakha. The introductory chapter provides a comparison with the standard variety of Tshangla and corroborates the internal diversity of the Tshangla branch. The present-day structure of Bjokapakha verbal morphology is illuminated by means of an internal reconstruction. Moreover, this book contains a glossary and a text collection.
Selin Grollmann, M.A. (2014), University of Bern, is a Ph.D. candidate at that university. She is working on Trans-Himalayan languages of Bhutan and eastern Nepal and currently writing a grammar of Nachiring, a moribund Kiranti language, as her Ph.D. thesis.
