Reviews

Clearly written and well argued, this is undoubtedly a major contribution to our knowledge of Indigenous languages of North America. -Alexandra Aikhenvald, Distinguished Professor and Australian Laureate at James Cook University -- Alexandra Aikhenvald A Grammar of Southern Pomo is a remarkable contribution to the scholarship on Indigenous languages of California. It is full of rich, well-illustrated phenomena at every level and should be of interest to anyone concerned with American Indigenous cultures. -Andrea L. Berez-Kroeker, associate professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa and director of Kaipuleohone, the University of Hawai'i Digital Language Archive -- Andrea L. Berez-Kroeker This is a beautiful, sophisticated description of a language of extraordinary phonological and morphological complexity. The Southern Pomo language is described in a remarkably accessible way, always with attention to its cultural and historical context. -Marianne Mithun, professor of linguistics at the University of California, Santa Barbara -- Marianne Mithun This detailed grammar of recently extinct Southern Pomo is an important contribution to our understanding of the Indigenous languages of North America and a fitting tribute to the language's speakers and to the community in which it was once spoken. -Bernard Comrie, Distinguished Faculty Professor of Linguistics, University of California, Santa Barbara -- Bernard Comrie
