Itzaj Maya Grammar

Summary: Itzaj Maya Grammar
Review: The blurb on the back (perhaps lacking our British self-depreciation) describes the book as an "exemplary grammar" and I must say this is a fair description.

The book is admirably clear and physically well laid out.
It really, really needs an index though.(my only serious carp)

Summary: Itzaj Maya Grammar
Review: This is a technical work, not a teach-yourself; not that anybody likely to be buying it would be likely to be misled (or to need a review here ...?)

The blurb on the back (perhaps lacking our British self-depreciation) describes the book as an "exemplary grammar" and I must say this is a fair description. My interests are general linguistic so I can't make any comment on the work's value for Mayan experts, but it is certainly one of the very best grammars of a non-Standard Average European language I've ever come across. The extensive coverage of discourse-level topics is noteworthy especially.

The book is admirably clear and physically well laid out.
It really, really needs an index though.(my only serious carp)

PS the version sold is a paperback, *not* hardcover
