More about the book

Focusing on the Meskwaki language, this grammar highlights its significance as the most archaic member of the Algonquian family, preserving ancestral word shapes. It draws from a rich collection of texts by native speakers stored in the Smithsonian's National Anthropological Archives. Covering phonology, grammatical categories, and sentence structure, the book includes detailed discussions on inflections and discourse. It features examples of unique linguistic elements like the proximate and obviative third person categories and lists inflectional endings from significant published texts.
