A Reference Grammar of the Onondaga Language is a text-based
reference grammar of a highly endangered language. The Onondaga
language is a Northern Iroquoian language spoken at Six Nations
Reserve near Brantford Ontario and at Onondaga Nation near
Syracuse, New York. The approach was chosen to insure that the
language not be seen through an English filter. The source
materials come from many years of the author's own field work, and
from extensive documentation of Onondaga texts dating back to the
late nineteenth century. Woodbury uses the many text examples to
provide detailed and careful explanations of the language's
phonological and grammatical processes and takes particular care to
explain the technical vocabulary she uses for the convenience of
students of the language. Intended as a companion volume to the
Onondaga-English/English-Onondaga Dictionary published by
University of Toronto Press in 2003, A Reference Grammar of the
Onondaga Language is an accessible guide for students and teachers
of the Iroquoian languages, and for the non-Iroquoian linguist with
interests in comparative work on Indigenous languages and culture.
