Linguistics of Vietnamese: An International Survey

by Daniel Hole (editor), Elisabeth Löbel (Editor)

This volume, the first of its kind, is an international survey of linguistic research into Vietnamese. Vietnamese, one of the major languages of South East Asia, is considered a particularly interesting case of an isolating language among linguists of different persuasions. Up-to-date information in print about its linguistic system which is both detailed and covers a broad range of topics has been unavailable. The book strives to fill this gap.
