The Aesthetics of Grammar: Sound and Meaning in the Languages of Mainland Southeast Asia
Jeffrey P Williams
The languages of mainland Southeast Asia evidence an impressive array of elaborate grammatical resources such as echo words, phonaesthetic words, chameleon affixes, onomatopoeic forms, ideophones and expressives. This book provides a detailed comparative overview of the mechanisms by which aesthetic qualities of speech operate as part of speakers' grammatical knowledge.
