Lyle Campbell's linguistic fieldwork has taken him to numerous
countries, sometimes in challenging circumstances. It has led to
exciting discoveries including a new language in southeastern
Guatemala, a unique speech sound, unknown in any other language, in
the Nivacle language of Paraguay and Argentina, and unusual and
unique features in several other languages. Along the way, he has
experienced dangers and challenges, the joys and excitement of
fieldwork, and encountered first-hand the importance of
collaborating with indigenous groups to help document and
revitalize their languages. Written with humour, heart, and a clear
dedication to endangered languages and their speakers, Lyle's vivid
memoir is a lesson not only on life in the field but on the
importance of language documentation. With so many of the world's
languages being lost at an alarming rate, this remains the most
compelling and urgent task for linguists now and into the future.
