Reviews

'It compiles a wealth of information in a single volume, which, together with the previously published dictionary, is a welcome addition to the field.' -- Canadian Journal of Linguistics '... this work, which greatly increases the amount of readily available lexical material, is most welcome on both scientific and cultural grounds.' -- Language and Linguistics 'Frantz has addressed all of the important aspects of Blackfoot structure and in a way that is accessible to people who need or want to know about the language. His study is concise, clear, and largely accurate ... an outstanding addition to the growing corpus of descriptions of Algonquian languages.' -- American Indian Culture and Research Journal
