米安语是一种非南岛语（“巴布亚语”），属于Ok家族，在巴布亚新几内亚西部的高地边缘地区使用。勉语大约有1400人，是高度濒危的语言。这个语法是对这种语言的第一次全面描述。它基于主要的现场数据，包括一个文本语料库，涵盖了不同类型的口头传统，即神话和祖先的故事，历史记载，入会仪式的记载，对话和程序文本。该语料库由作者在2004年至2008年共11个月的实地工作中记录。这本书对Mian语法的所有领域进行了全面的描述，并对许多类型学兴趣点进行了深入的分析，例如词汇语调的复杂系统，性别系统和动词的分类前缀系统之间的相互作用，对象的运动，操纵或处理，这使得在特定情况下可以突出指涉物的某些特征。复杂的动词形态允许细粒度的时态-方面-语气的区别，以及一个开关-指称系统，在这个系统中，中间动词上的开关-指称后缀与词尾动词中充当时态和方面标记的后缀同音或衍生。这本书还收录了传统和现代文本（完全有注释和翻译），以及包含约1600个项目的单词表，给出了词汇语调、词类和含义。
Mian is a non-Austronesian ('Papuan') language of the Ok family spoken in the Highlands fringe in western Papua New Guinea. Mian has approximately 1,400 speakers and is highly endangered. This grammar is the first comprehensive description of the language. It is based on primary field data consisting of a text corpus that covers different genres of the oral tradition, namely myths and ancestor stories, historical accounts, accounts of the initiation ritual, conversations, and procedural texts. The corpus was recorded by the author during a total of eleven months of field work from 2004 to 2008. The book provides a thorough description of all areas of Mian grammar and gives an in-depth analysis of many points of typological interest, such as the complex system of lexical tone, the interaction between a gender system and a system of classificatory prefixes on verbs of object movement, manipulation or handling, which allows the highlighting of certain characteristics of a referent in a given situation, the complex verbal morphology which allows fine-grained tense-aspect-mood distinctions, and a switch-reference system in which switch-reference suffixes on medial verbs are homophonous with and derived from suffixes functioning as tense and aspect markers in final verbs. The book is rounded off by a collection of traditional and contemporary texts (fully glossed and translated) and a word list comprising some 1,600 items, giving lexical tone, word class and meaning.
