Hawaiian Grammar

Hawaiian Grammar

• Used Book in Good Condition

<p>Without question, this is the definitive grammar of the Hawaiian language. Indeed it is the first attempt at a comprehensive treatment of the subject since W.D. Alexander published his concise <i>Short Synopsis of the Most Essential Points in Hawaiian Grammar</i> in 1864. This grammar is intended as a companion to the <i>Hawaiian Dictionary</i>, by the same authors.</p><p>The grammar was written with every student of the Hawaiian language in mind - from the casual interested layperson to the professional linguist and grammarian. Although it was obviously impossible to avoid technical terms, their use was kept to a minimum, and a glossary is included for those who need its help. Each point of grammar is illustrated with examples, many from Hawaiian-language literature.</p>
