New York: University Press of America, Inc. 452 pp. This book is the most detailed and comprehensive volume on grammar currently available. It is a welcome addition to the growing texts on language and a valuable collection for scholars worldwide. The writers, Oswald Almasi, Michael David Fallon, and Nazish Pardhani Wared have collectively presented an in-depth survey of every aspect of grammar. It is intended for university students or language scholars whose objective is to gain mastery of grammar from the introductory to intermediate levels. It is specifically devoted to grammar, with a few cultural notes here and there. The first chapter focuses on general but brief information on the language, where it is spoken, the dialects and their location, how is related to other African languages, and its ranking in world languages. The alphabet and sound pronunciation is extensively addressed with equivalent sounds in English language presented for easy identification. The book is divided into thirty-nine chapters with each chapter focusing on the introduction of a grammar concept, its linguistic rules, numerous examples with their translations, and practice exercises and their answers. the end of each chapter is a glossary of new words used in the chapter. The grammar ranges from the simplest concepts to the more complex ones; however they are not arranged in chronological order in accordance to difficulty of learning the concept. For example, the Swahili Noun Class System is introduced fairly early, in Chapter 7, while Numbers come in Chapter 18, and Days, Months, and Dates come in Chapter 21. Some of the concepts covered are greetings, tenses and their negations, numerals and telling time, pronouns and their prefixes, noun classes and their agreements, adjectives, possessives, colors and interrogatives, etc. More complex grammar such as verb conjugation, adverbs, relative pronouns, relative of manner, subjunctive and conditional and habitual tenses are introduced later. Idiomatic expressions, proverbs and reported speech are also included. Chapter 35, titled Common Question and Answers, is interestingly presented in the form of dialogues on common topics such as Meeting Someone, Conversation between Neighbors, At the Airport, and Travelling to East Africa. These dialogues are designed to reflect realistic scenarios in a typical speaking community. …" @default.
