"""This is a meticulously documented and useful reference source. . . . Because of the lack of documentation on this subject, any resource is a treasure for language revival and further academic studies.""—Jurgita Antoine, Tribal College Journal “There has not been a comprehensive reference grammar of the Atakapa language, and so this book fills a real need. There is very careful philological work here.”—George Aaron Broadwell, author of A Choctaw Reference Grammar “This reference grammar will make a huge and much-needed contribution to Atakapan language studies and to linguistics in general. Geoffrey Kimball has clearly well researched the language based on both the original Gatschet field notes and the published Gatschet and Swanton Atakapa dictionary.”—David V. Kaufman, author of Clues to Lower Mississippi Valley Histories: Language, Archaeology, and Ethnography and Atakapa Ishakkoy Dictionary"
