A Marathi Reference Grammar.
Berntsen, Maxine; Nimbkar, Jai
This Marathi reference grammar designed for adult students is based on the model of transformational grammar developed by Zellig Harris, and may be of interest to linguists as well. The basic grammatical facts of Marathi are set forth in eleven chapters: (1) the Marathi sound system, (2) the Devenagari script, (3) nouns, pronouns, and adjectives, (4) verbs, (5) simple sentences, (6) adjuncts of the simple sentence, (7) operators, (8) unary transformations, (9) binary transformations, (10) verbal nouns and adjectives, and (11) word derivation. Appendices deal with morphophonemic rules, speech etiquette, the contrast of the present and imperfect "A" forms of the auxiliary, and word order. (CLK)
