Hardback. Condition: New. 1st. A Grammar of Mina is a reference grammar of a hitherto undescribed and endangered Central Chadic language. The book contains a description of the phonology, morphology, syntax, and all the functional domains encoded by this language. For each hypothesis regarding a form of linguistic expression and its function, ample evidence is given. The description of formal means and of the functions coded by these means is couched in terms accessible to all linguists regardless of their theoretical orientations. The outstanding characteristics of Mina include: vowel harmony; use of phonological means, including vowel deletion and vowel retention, to code phrasal boundaries; two tense and aspectual systems, each system carrying a different pragmatic function; a lexical category 'locative predicator' hitherto not observed in other languages; some tense, aspect, and mood markers that occur before the verb, and others that occur after the verb; the markers of interrogative and negative modality that occur in clause-final position; the conjunction used for a conjoined noun phrase in the subject function that differs from the conjunction used for a conjoined noun phrase in all other functions.In addition to the coding of argument structure, adjuncts, tense, aspect, and mood categories, Mina also codes the category point-of-view. The language has a clausal category 'comment clause' used in both simple and complex sentences, which overtly marks the speaker's comment on the proposition. The discourse structure has the principle of unity of place. If one of the participants in a described event changes scene, that is coded by a special syntactic construction in addition to any verb of movement that may be used. Because of these unusual linguistic characteristics, the Grammar of Mina will be of interest to a wide range of linguists.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition. A folding portfolio with a linen spine and lettered paper-covered sides. The binding ties complete and in situ. Sixteen loose-leaved sheets of card, printed on one side only and measuring 31.5cm x 25cm, five of which are by Gill, three reproducing his alphabet engravings on stone, one drawn and one more brushed. Loosely inserted is a 1pp advertisement leaf for plaster casts lettering for letter cutters by Gill with thumbnail reproductions of the three stone-engraved plates. Folding 4pp advertisement for Soennecken's pens also inserted along with a 1pp advertisement for Kelemi pen #21. A trace of toning and corner creasing to the margins of several of the Gill plates. Some spotting to two other plates, and some off-set toning to a third. An area of staining to the front panel of the portfolio, a little rubbing to the corner tips, and a touch of spotting and toning to the printed inners. A very good example of this scarce survivor of some of Gill's earliest printed work. Most uncommon. (Gill first encountered Edward Johnston at the Central School of Arts and Crafts where he ran the calligraphy course and the two roomed together for a year in shared lodgings at Lincoln's Inn. Johnston was instrumental in some of Gill's earliest inscriptional and design employment).

This copy is inscribed by President Harry S. Truman in Volume I to the head of the Motion Picture Association of America, Eric Johnston: "To the Honorable Eric Johnston / with kindest regards and happy memories of our association, from his good friend, Harry Truman / Independence / April 21, 1956." Eric Johnston (1896-1963) was an American businessman and civic leader who served as president of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) from 1945 until his death. In 1947, he played a central role in issuing the Waldorf Statement, a declaration by major Hollywood studio executives at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel pledging not to employ individuals affiliated with the Communist Party, marking the start of the Hollywood blacklist. In 1951 during the Korean War, President Harry S. Truman appointed Johnston as head of the Economic Stabilization Agency, where he oversaw price and wage controls to fight inflation and maintain economic balance. (Provenance: RR Auctions, 2025).
