Maku: A Comprehensive Grammar is a comprehensive reference grammar
of the Maku language, spoken by the jukudeitse who once lived in
Venezuela and Brazil. Based on fieldwork with the final two
speakers of the language, it describes all core aspects of the
grammatical system as they have been recorded; presented through
lexical items, example sentences and texts. This book offers a
description of the now-extinct language. It was written in response
to the loss of linguistic information generally and the
significance this language has for the study of the sociolinguistic
history of the region specifically. This information contributes to
our understanding of linguistic diversity and the indigenous
linguistic ecologies in the Americas. Also included is data about
language contact via loanwords with other indigenous language
spoken in the Northern Amazonian region. The resources in this book
are essential for language comparisons and language histories in
Venezuela and Brazil. Maku: A Comprehensive Grammar is an important
reference for researchers and students in the fields of
linguistics, anthropology, sociology, history and the study of
Amazonian languages.
