{"product_id":"9789004763234","title":"A Grammar of Beserman : Volume 2 (Indigenous Languages of Russia)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Soviet authorities denied the Besermans the right to self-identify. For decades, their language was dismissed as merely a dialect of Udmurt, a closely related language spoken by a different ethnic group. Only in 2021 was Beserman officially recognized as a separate language—by then, some fifteen years had already passed since intergenerational transmission had come to an end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis grammar demonstrates why such recognition matters. Drawing on many years of fieldwork within the Beserman community, it offers a comprehensive portrait of the language: its phonology, morphology, syntax, vocabulary, information structure, and pragmatics. More than 3,700 carefully selected examples bring these features to life and show that Beserman is, beyond doubt, a language worthy of study in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48871917977835,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":395.53,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/zh\/products\/9789004763234","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
