Studies in American Indian Languages: Description and Theory

Portada
Leanne Hinton, Pamela Munro
Univ of California Press, 1998 - 282 páginas
This collection of 31 articles (dedicated to Margaret Langdon) represents the multitude of approaches to Native American languages taken by linguists today. Half of the essays treat Hokan languages, but Uto-Aztecan, Penutian, Muskogean, Iroquoian, Mayan, and other groups are also represented, with pieces on phonology, syntax, the lexicon, and discourse.
