Huang Chenglong. A reference grammar of the Puxi variety of Qiang

Handout for PhD oral examination. — Hong Kong: City University of Hong Kong, 2004. — 21 p.This presentation outlines my research, which is an attempt to produce a lasting record of a dying language, the Puxi variety of the Qiang language. Beyond cultural preservation, this research provides empirical data for comparative research and the reconstruction of Proto-Qiang and Proto-Qiangic. By extension, this work has implications for the reconstruction of Proto-Tibeto-Burman and even Proto-Sino-Tibetan.
