Elements of Guro grammar

The book considers aspects of grammar of the Guro language (< South Mande < Niger-Congo; Côte d’Ivoire). The analysis is based on the fi eld materials collected by the author and other researchers. The focus is on general issues of phonology and morphology (Part 1), phonological and morphosyntactic properties of non-verbal lexical classes (Part 2), and problems of pragmatics: determination, deixis, referentiality, and the information structure of the utterance (topic and focus) (Part 3). In addition, the lists of literature in the Guro language and about the Guro language known to the author are provided.
