Ika syntax: studies in the languages of Colombia I
[Dallas]: Summer Institute of Linguistics and the University of Texas at Arlington, 1990. First edition, 8vo, pp. xiii, [1], 140; full-page map; very good, sound, and clean copy in original pictorial wrappers. Issued as no. 93 in the publisher's Publications in Linguistics series. "Among these gems [of indigenous languages] I would count the auxiliary verb system of Kogi, the positional verbs of Ika, the compound verbs of Epena, the evidential systems of Tucanoan languages, as well as their noun classifier systems. For ten weeks in the fall of 1984, it was my privilege to lead a workshop, guiding several of my colleagues in writing grammar sketches from a typological and functional perspective. What began as mere 'sketches' have become valuable grammars, and now with the publication of the first of these, we must acknowledge the authors' success." (p. xi). Item #72430
