Previous Fa d'Amb� grammars are all written in Spanish, either in the spirit of Latin grammar models (Vila 1891, Barrena 1957) or in the tradition of Romance philology (Zamora Segorbe 2010). A Grammar of Fa d'Amb� aims to overcome the shortcomings of these grammars by providing a comprehensive description of the language from a creolistic, typological, and general linguistics perspective. The grammar covers all major domains of grammar and the different types of interactions between them. The book further includes transcribed texts (about 12,000 words), a Fa d'Amb�-English word list (about 1,140 entries) and supplementary audio materials corresponding to the transcribed texts and spectrograms. Being the first comprehensive Fa d'Amb� grammar written in English, the book aims at a wide readership of scholars who are interested in creoles, language typology, and language documentation in general, but also targets a specialized readership in Portuguese-related creoles. The grammar is further expected to make a substantial contribution to our understanding of the relation between Fa d'Amb� and its better-known sister languages Santome, Angolar, and Lung'Ie (Principense), spoken on the islands of S�o Tom� and Pr�ncipe. The supplementary audio materials downloadable below were selected from: Hagemeijer, Tjerk; Agostinho, Ana L�via; Christofoletti, Alfredo; G�n�reux, Michel; Hendrickx, Iris; Mendes, Am�lia; Zamora, Armando. 2014.Fa d'Amb� corpus.
