Reviews / Votes
"The lessons in this volume are indispensable contributions to the field that make significant advances in the practice of documentary linguistics as a whole. Any documentary linguist, whether weathered veterans or just entering the field, would be remiss to neglect the lessons from it."Daniel W. Hieber in Linguist List 23.2390More details
