Elements of Guro grammar: Phonology and morphology. Non-verbal lexical classes. Determination, deixis, information structure

The book considers aspects of grammar of the Guro language (< South Mande < Niger-Congo; Côte d'Ivoire). The analysis is based on the field 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), as well as 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.
