Principles of Annang Grammar - Paperback

by Ernest Owulette (Author)

This book is written for a person with little or no prior background in Anaa (Annang) grammar. It deals with the forms and structure of words (morphology), with their customary arrangement in phrases and sentences (syntax), and word meanings (semantics). Many people in the world speak their own, native language without having to study its grammar. Children start to speak before they even know the word "grammar". But if you are serious about learning the Anaa language, this book can help you to learn the language more quickly and more efficiently. It will also serve as a platform for native speakers to master the language etymology. Losing a language means losing a culture, and as a member of the Anaa Heritage and Preservation International, (AHPI), we intend to preserve our language for posterity. The Anaa Writers Association has developed the orthography for books in Anaa language. It is that orthography that this book "Principles of Annang Grammar" is utilizing. You will now be jazzed up with Anaa language. Every language has its own speech melody, which is distinct from that of other languages, and no language is spoken correctly without the right intonation. The term tone language, is commonly used to denote a language which makes particular use of tone. Anna is a language in which tones play a great part. The tone or pitch of the voice may serve two purposes; it may distinguish one word from another (semantic tones), and it may be used to show grammatical relationships (grammatical tones). Anaa people are known for the use of idioms and wise sayings in their sentences. You will not be disappointed in the idiomatic expressions and the life applications.
