Description

This book is intended as an overview and reference grammar of the modern Faroese language. It covers the relationship between Faroese orthography and phonetics, phonology, inflectional morphology, derivational morphology, syntax, dialects, and the history of the Faroese language. It also contains extensive bibliographical references, both after echa chapter and at the end of the book, and is thus much more comprehensive than any previously written grammar of Faroese.

Since the bbok is intended for a wide readership, it presupposes very little knowledge of theoretical linguistics. It is basically a descriptive grammar which can be read by anyone who is familiar with traditional grammatical concepts.
