"R. M.W. Dixon is well known for his grammars of the Australian languages Dyirbal and Yidin, and of the Boumaa variety of Fijian. Here he provides a detailed description and analysis of Jarawara, a dauntingly complex language from Brazil, based on field research over a twelve-year period deep in the Amazonian jungle."--Jacket.
