RECENT ADVANCES IN TUNGUSIC LINGUISTICS KARTONI...

The Tungusic languages are spoken across most of eastern Siberia and northern China. Because
all of the Tungusic languages are endangered  the opportunity to learn more about the
structures of these languages in the future will become limited. Recent Advances in Tungusic
Linguistics includes invited contributions from sixteen specialists on Tungusic from all over
the world. The volume presents research that is representative of the current scientific
knowledge. It includes papers of a comparative orientation in the tradition of Tungusic studies
but also addresses new domains (e.g. discourse)  as well as employing new methods (e.g. new
possibilities of acoustic analysis in phonetic research and the use of semantic maps in
morphosyntax). All essays have a typological orientation  even though they draw on the material
from individual Tungusic languages. With the varied conception of this volume  the editors
Lindsay J. Whaley and Andrej L. Malchukov aim at stimulating further interaction and
collaboration in the domain of Tungusic studies.
