Editorial Reviews
Review
“This is the first comprehensive and widely available published dictionary on the Northern Paiute language. It is a first of its kind. This dictionary can assist learners and language activists in their promotion and strengthening of the Northern Paiute language, and ensures that it is passed down to future generations.”—Christopher Loether, Idaho State University
"This is an extraordinary compilation of Northern Paiute lexical information and belongs on the shelf of every Numic scholar and linguistic research library. Overall, [its] size makes it the largest dictionary for any of the Numic languages. It is a fine example of the orderly presentation of lexical data in a maximally usable form."
—Studies in Language
