This first major study of any Chapakuran language offers a unique, comprehensive grammatical description of Wari, covering syntax, negation, morphology, phonology, ideophone/interjection and lexicon. This grammar is especially important as Wari and all the Chapakuran languages are currently threatened with extinction; the known speakers of these languages, natives of Western Brazil and Eastern Bolivia, number less than 2,000.

Industry Reviews

We can only hope that this pioneering descriptive study will serve as a model for linguistic scholars across South America to devote their time to describing and analyzing hitherto undocumented Amazonian languages." -Alexandra Aikhenvald, La Trobe University,
