内容説明
The author has provided here a critical review of proverbs & riddles in the Burushaski language of the Hunza Valley, site of the legendary Shangri-La. Each entry is accompanied by linguistic & ethnologic commentaries. There are over 550 proverbs, riddles & manners of expression from Hunza. The book was undertaken to enrich the documentation already available on Burushaski, a spoken & isolated language of Karakoram, in the extreme north of Pakistan. It was hoped that the chosen stylistic form would bring to light particularities in syntactic turns & expressions. this hope was not betrayed. In addition, the text yields ample & valuable information on the Hunzukuts' customs & on their conception of the world. The reader will also find stylistic art form & folkloric psychology in these proverbs. Texts are translated word-for-word, with relevant sociological, cultural, literary & linguistic information. A brief grammatical outline of the language is provided in the introduction. Three indexes, at the end of the book, make consultation with the text easy.
