Kawaiisu: A Grammar and Dictionary with Texts [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
This is a reference grammar, consisting of five descriptive chapters ($l-5) with background notes, discussion, and comparative references ($6). It was bascd upon a sketch prepared by Curtis Booth, reorganized, rcviscd, and extended with additions from my own field data. Both Booth and I did most of our fieldwork with tlrc late Lida Girado of Tehachapi, to whom we ov/e a grcat debt. $l presents the phonology of Kawaiisu and the orthography we use throughout this book. $2 is an overview of the structure of Kawaiisu simple sentences, while $3 and $4 cover noun phrase and verb structure in more detail. 55 describes complex sentences of various types. Since all of tlrcse topics interact, we have given frequent cross-references; in addition, the Dictionary may be used as an index to the Grammar, since references to the Grammar are given under the listings of grammatical morphemes in its Kawaiisu-English section. $6 includes comparative and typological notes placing our observations on Kawaiisu grarnmar within the Southem Numic tradition and showing some of their relevance for general linguists. Booth's original writings, on which this grammar was based, reflected the framework of an early version of R. W. Langacker's theory of Space Grammar (later Cognitive Grammar), and much of our organization and terminology still shows this influence, although in some areas more mainstream linguistic terminology has been adopted. Many of our glosses, however, reflect standard Uto-Aztecanist usage, and we include discussion of cases where this terminology may be confusing for non-specialists.
