内容説明
The people who live in the Boumaa region of the Fijian island of Taveuni speak a dialect of Fijian that is mutually intelligible with Standard Fijian, the two differing as much perhaps as do the American and British varieties of English. During 1985, R. M. W. Dixon--one of the most insightful of linguists engaged in descriptive studies today--lived in the village of Waitabu and studied the language spoken there. He found in Boumaa Fijian a wealth of striking features unknown in commonly studied languages and on the basis of his fieldwork prepared this grammar.
Fijian is an agglutinating language, one in which words are formed by the profligate combining of morphemes. There are no case inflections, and tense and aspect as shown by independent clitics or words within a predicate complex. Most verbs come in both transitive and intransitive forms, and nouns can be build up regularly from verbal parts and verbs from nouns. The language is also marked by a highly developed pronoun system and by a vocabulary rich in areas of social significance.
In the opening chapters, Dixon describes the Islands' political, social, and linguistic organization, outlines the main points of Fijian phonology, and presents an overview of the grammar. In succeeding chapters, he examines a number of grammatical topics in greater detail, including clause and phrase structure, verbal syntax, deictics, and anaphora. The volume also includes a full vocabulary of all forms treated in discussion and three of the fifteen texts recorded from monolingual village elders on which the grammar is based.

For the Serious Linguist
2004/4/15
形式:ペーパーバック
This book is terrifically written and organized. It is important to note that this book is only for those well acquainted with language structure and formation. Grammar rules are explained in-depth, with notes regarding dialect differences throughout the Fiji Islands. Anyone who has a serious interest in language, particularly of the south-pacific region, should purchase this book. It's wonderfully informative and very appropriately detailed.

Concise grammar
2007/3/1
形式:ハードカバー
I'm using this grammar for research on languages in the Austronesian family. These languages are extremely interesting, and Fijian in particular has some notable characteristics. Dixon is a notable figure in this field and this work shows his expertise. This book is well written, easy to access, and, unlike some grammars, gives an understanding of the people who speak the language.
I find the discussion of the difference between "phonological" and "grammatical" words somewhat confusing, but that may be due to my own lack of experience. A great tool for researching this particular language and culture.
