Adelaar Willem, Muysken Pieter. The languages of the Andes

The languages of the Andes.
The Andean and Paci?cregionsof South America are home to a remarkable variety of languages and language families, with a range of typological differences. This linguistic diversity results from a complex historical background, comprising periods of greater communication between different peoples and languages, and periods of fragmentation and individual development. "The Languages of the Andes" is the ?rst book in English todocument in a single volume the indigenous languages spoken and formerly spoken in this linguistically rich region, aswell as in adjacent areas. Grouping the languages into different cultural spheres, it describes their
characteristics in termsof language typology, language contact, and the social perspectives of present-day languages. The authors provide both historical and contemporary in formation, and illustrate the languages with detailed grammatical sketches. Written in a clear and accessible stiyle book will be a valuable source for students and scholars of linguistics and anthropology alike.
