Austroasiatic Syntax in Areal and Diachronic Perspective
Austroasiatic Syntax in Areal and Diachronic Perspective elevates historical morpho-syntax to a research priority in the field of Southeast Asian language history, transcending the traditional focus on phonology and lexicon. The volume contains eleven chapters covering a wide range of aspects of diachronic Austroasiatic syntax, most of which contain new hypotheses, and several address topics that have never been dealt with before in print, such as clause structure and word order in the proto-language, and reconstruction of Munda morphology successfully integrating it into Austroasiatic language history. Also included is a list of proto-AA grammatical words with evaluative and contextualizing comments.

Our Daily War
"A vivid, moving and sometimes funny account of the reality of life during Russia's invasion," Marc Bennetts, The Times "Uplifting and utterly defiant," Matt Nixson, Daily Express "No-one with the slightest interest in this war, or the nation on which it is being waged, should fail to read Andrey Kurkov," Dominic Lawson, Daily Mail "For centuries, attempts have been made to force Ukrainians to forget their native language, to stop singing Ukrainian songs and to abandon their history. For almost 400 years, Russia has been fighting against Ukrainian identity." Ten years on from the annexation of Crimea, two years on from Russia's all-out invasion of Ukraine, the Ukrainian people continue to fi...

Onze dagelijkse oorlog
Al meer dan twee jaar woedt de oorlog in Oekraïne, en langzaam maar zeker verdwijnt hij in het Westen van de voorpagina's. Andere oorlogen nemen zijn plaats in, het front zit muurvast, het nieuws is oud geworden. Maar voor de Oekraïners is hij nog volop gaande, dag en nacht, onophoudelijk, zo laat Andrej Koerkov zien in zijn indringende oorlogsdagboek Onze dagelijkse oorlog. Hoe doe je de was als de stroom steeds uitvalt? Wat zijn loopgraafkaarsen? Hoe klinkt een snelweg waar tanks overheen reden? Hoe is het om niet eens meer geschokt te zijn als je hoort dat er weer een bekende is overleden? En is er nog plaats voor kunst, muziek en literatuur als de bommen blijven vallen? Oorlog is als een ziekte, schrijft Koerkov, hij neemt je gedrag, je gedachten en zelfs je emoties over. Desondanks gaan de Oekraïners door, standvastig en met bittere humor, ondanks de toenemende teleurstelling over het tegenoffensief, ondanks de groeiende vermoeidheid. Onze dagelijkse oorlog is een aangrijpende oproep van Oekraïnes belangrijkste schrijver om zijn land te blijven steunen.
