This volume brings together Gregerson’s fieldwork in Vietnam’s Kontum Province (1968–1974), conducted in collaboration with Rengao speakers Paul Hyum and Andre Ir. The outcome is a sketch grammar, a dictionary of more than 6,000 entries, and a rich collection of texts. Rengao, a North Bahnaric language within the Austroasiatic phylum, stands out for its typologically rare tense–lax phonological contrast—still of uncertain origin—and for its remarkably vivid “expressive” lexicon of onomatopoeic,

The theory proposed in this book enables linguists to explain how utterances are formed in individual languages and why languages differ in how they denote events and states that may appear physically identical. The formation of utterances is guided by the principle of functional transparency, which consists of three components: 1. Transparency of the utterance’s role in discourse, 2. Transparency of the functions selected from the set coded in the grammatical system of the given language, 3

In addition to introducing a denotational meaning, utterances often convey an expressive meaning, that provides information about the speaker or the judger. This volume collects original research papers on the semantics and pragmatics of expressive meaning in interaction with speech acts, and on the way that these two domains are encoded in syntax. By covering a broad variety of well-known and new expressive phenomena –including non-lexical datives, tense, modality, expletive negation, minimizer

In the second part of the book, the authors vent
