- Summary
- "Since 1879 the Zunis have been one of the most intensely studied groups in the Southwest, but their language has never before been described in terms of modern structural treatment, as have the Hopi, Yuma, Apachean, and Tanoan languages. While word translations have been collected-the present author's Zuni Dictionary (1958) being one of the better known-the emphasis has been practical or ethnographic, valuable to literature and folklore, but unanalyzed morphologically. Linguistic details have been generally ignored. The present work, begun in 1952, supplies a need to systematize the description of the language. The preface outlines the history of the study of the Zuni. Following chapters cover phonemics, morphophonemics, morphology, and syntax, illustrated with examples. It is hoped the book may provide a basis for further analysis and for comparative studies on origins and relationships of the Zuni language."-- Cover flap.
