Book Description
This book explores the origin and evolution of important grammatical categories of the Indo-European verb, including the markers of person, tense, number, aspect, and mood. Its central thesis is that many of these markers can be traced to original deictic particles which were incorporated into verbal structures in order to indicate the 'hic and nunc' and various degrees of remoteness from the 'hic and nunc'. The alterations to which these deictic elements were subject are viewed here in the context of an Indo-European language very different from Brugmannian Indo-European, many features of which, it is argued, appeared only in the period of dialectal development. This book challenges numerous traditional proposals about the Indo-European verb; all reconstructions contained in it are firmly based on extant data and are consonant with established principles of linguistic change.

Book Description
This monograph covers basic aspects of the phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics of Guren (Gur, Niger-Congo) language. The work of a native speaker, it is written in accessible language, perfect for beginners, university and college students, the general researcher, and all other non-specialists who are interested in learning some basic information about the Gur languages in general and Guren in particular. This book provides important insights into some of the interesting morphological features of the verb in the Guren (Gur Niger-Congo) language. It outlines and presents the information in a very straightforward and concise manner, and will be a valuable resource for linguists interested in verb typology. The structure of the verb, its phrase, derivational and inflectional suffixes, morphemes, stems, and roots are discussed.An under-studied feature of Gur languages is their use of verb particles to perform various kinds of grammatical functions within the verb phrase.This monograph presents the first detailed description and discussion of such a system.Up-to-date sociolinguistic information is also presented."
