Summary:

All contributors to this volume are well-known specialists on their specific topics and all the authors of the chapters dealing with modern languages have personal experience of linguistic field work among Tungusic speakers. The volume is of interest for scholars working on general linguistic typology, as well as on the languages and ethnicities of the specific region of Northeast Asia. Because of this geographical focus, the volume is likely to be of particular relevance for scholars based in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Mongolia, as well as China and Russia. Other regions with scholars working on the Tungusic languages include Europe (especially Germany and Poland) and North America (both Canada and the US). Since the Tungusic languages are typologically often classified as "Altaic", the volume will be of interest to scholars working on other "Altaic" languages, including, in particular, Mongolic and Turkic. Because of the current endangered status of all Tungusic languages, the volume is of interest for specialists on language endangerment and language revitalization.
