Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book explores one of the richest dialect families in the world: Chinese dialects. It covers all aspects of Chinese dialectology, from descriptive investigations, to dialect geography and philology, history, variation, language contact and sociolinguistics, and also includes a unique bibliography of dialect works by Western missionaries, explaining profound theories in simple language with colorful examples from all over China. Based on a unique framework and focusing on what other work on Chinese dialectology lacks, it combines a theoretical perspective with field research, and also links Western theory to the Chinese dialect tradition. This book is a breath of fresh air, providing new data as well as a bibliography of dialect translations of the Old and New Testaments not available elsewhere. Re-assessing old views and offering new perspectives based on rigorous research, it is an indispensable resource for researchers.
