This review is from: Osage Grammar (Studies in the Anthropology of North Ame) (Hardcover)
Dr. Quintero has compiled information on the Osage language, and then managed actually to analyze it and deliver the first complete grammar of Osage. This is a herculean task, of special importance in that the last few remaining speakers are passing away. It is to be hoped that this fine work will find success in academic circles, certainly, but even more importantly, that the current resurgence in interest in the language will find this a valuable tool. Anyone who loves language, as I do, will recognize the brilliance with which Dr. Quintero approached this task. It is difficult to say that grammar reading is a pleasure -- but this book is indeed a pleasure to study.
Now I would like to see some short books of stories in the language. |
