| Zusammenfassung: | In twenty-five chapters this book covers phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. The chapters are organized in four discrete parts: phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics. They are uneven in terms of scope covered, length, the density of their contents and their degrees of difficulty. Each chapter ends with 'Some References' relevant to both the topic(s) treated in the chapter, in Igbo linguistics, and in general linguistics. |
