Description

Chiang Mai: Rayap University, Rayap research and development institute & SIL International, Technical papaer No 185, 2003. — [iii] 27 p.This paper draws on Robert Longacre's (1996) framework of discourse analysis. It is applied particularly to the relationship between text type and actual grammatical manifestations in an effort to better predict particle usage in Bisu (Tibeto-Burman, Burmic, Southern Yi / Lolo) as spoken in Northern Thailand. The corpus analyzed here includes thirteen folktales, three life stories, and six expository texts.
