Editorial Reviews

A description of standard formal Indonesian for English-speaking teachers and learners and for others interested in the language and its structures. Provides examples of constructions taken from numerous sources, including newspapers, magazines and novels, television and radio, and from conversation. Each of the four chapters is based on one of four basic levels of Indonesian grammar: words, phrases, clauses, sentences. A detailed table of contents, cross- referencing, and a generous use of headings provide immediate access to information. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
