{"product_id":"punjabi-1","title":"Punjabi","description":"First Published in 1993. Punjabi is the language of the Punjab-the land of five rivers--of northern India and Pakistan. Primarily written in three distinct scripts, a unique feature of the language is that, along with Lahanda and the Western Pahari dialects, it is the only modern Indo-European language spoken in South Asia which is tonal in nature. It is recognized as one of the several national languages of India and Pakistan, and approximately forty-five million people speak Punjabi as either a first or second language. This Descriptive Grammar accounts for the linguistic and sociolinguistic properties of Punjabi and Lahanda\/Multani. It explores the standard language, giving a comprehensive account of syntax, morphology and phonology. With a descriptive, typological and cognitive examination of the language, this is the most up-to-date, comprehensive and authoritative description of modern Punjabi to date. This volume will be invaluable to students and researchers of linguistic theory and practice.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54235840610648,"sku":"9780415003209","price":341.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415003209_312001f4-31e9-4e69-a0bc-69a262887306.jpg?v=1779336950","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/punjabi-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
