Advanced writing of students of Malay and Indonesian by Malcolm Mintz
Advanced writing of students of Malay and Indonesian
And this is the third and my last book of Malay language.
This book has a rather different aspect
At fist the structure is nearly as of the book of Malay grammar , with Malaysian and Indonesian to be separated by columns , and in case the text is nearly identical only the non-identical terms are separated by a slash and showed with a raised letter M or I for Malaysian and Indonesian lang respectively
The chapters include the following topics
- Chronological order
- Spatial relations
- Classification
- Comparison and control
- Generalizations and specifics
- Cause and effect
- Definitions
- Prediction and inference
- Hypothesis
- Proposals
- Refutation and complaint
The first part shows terms in both Malay/Indo wit the structure and terming as noticed above (actually expressions ) with their translation on the the second column in English
On latihan (exercises ) it is again a 2 column text – separately Malay and Indonesian
Each chapter shows excerpts from various newspapers and also letter formats
Unfortunately this book is quite advanced for me. Because i have never started systematically learning the language.
