Let's learn Maori : a guide to the study of the Maori language

documentary heritage
  • Description

    A number of alterations have been made which reflect changes in my thinking about the nature of human language and the ways in which we attempt to describe it. Our grammars are really descriptions of sentences. Basic terms such as "subject" always imply "of a sentence". It follows that in all discussion about syntax illustrative examples should be complete sentences. Incomplete sentence examples used in the first edition have been replaced.-- Intro. to the 2nd ed.

  • Public Access Text

    Let's learn Maori is a self-help tutor designed to facilitate study of the Maori language. The book cannot make learning easy, for reasonable competence in any language is acquired only after prolonged and serious study, but Professor Bigg's analysis of Maori structure is more complete than that given in any earlier publication.-- jacket.
