Author(s): A. Capell
Learning Languages | Secondhand
Secondhand.
Fine study of the many different languages of New Guinea. It has often been said that New Guinea is a linguistic Babel. A fresh language seems to be found every few miles and often to be totally unlike its neighbour. This fascinating book is to show how this babel may be de-babelized with the help of modern methods of linguistic analysis and to undertake a two-fold task - one practical and one theoretical.
Includes Appendices, Bibliographies, maps. Comprehensive.
VG. Light fading shine, minor tear on the dust jacket. Inscription to the front endpaper.
