Description

Explore the linguistic history of the Siraya language with this comprehensive academic study. Once spoken around Tainan City in southwest Taiwan, Siraya is a dormant Formosan language that offers significant insights into linguistic typology. This volume, part of the Trends in Linguistics Documentation series, provides a deep analysis based on the Siraya Gospel of St. Matthew, which was translated from Dutch in 1661. This work serves as a vital resource for researchers and linguists interested in the unique structures of Formosan languages. The text includes a detailed grammar, a lexicon, and extensive passages featuring interlinear glossing. Readers will find detailed background information in the introduction to better understand the historical context of this language. By examining specific elements such as various reduplication patterns and orientation prefixes that denote motion or location, this book contributes to the broader understanding of how languages function and evolve.
