Description

Ojibwe Discourse Markers offers in-depth analysis of the language's most elusive and difficult-to-understand components. Brendan Fairbanks examines the role of discourse markers in Ojibwe, exploring their contribution to sentences and the broader theoretical concerns in linguistics. Typically found on the periphery of sentences, these markers provide cohesion or nuance to utterances, yet are often overlooked in research focused on core morphological and syntactical characteristics. This study sheds light on the most ubiquitous and commonly occurring discourse markers in Ojibwe texts, providing a valuable resource for instructors and students of the language. With a scholarly introduction and technical glossary, this book is an essential tool for those involved in language revival and maintenance programs, offering a nuanced understanding of the Ojibwe language.
