</div>In some cases the work in question is not digitized, but then you can pay to make the digitize it, and future users will get it for free. <br><br></div>I did a quick search for 'grammar' and it did get my a lot of descriptive work, but much of it before the period you are interested in, and of course there were lots of false positives about English or theoretical syntax. <br>
<br></div>In any case, it might be worth a look. <br><br>Nathan <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr">Dr Nathan W. Hill<br>Lecturer in Tibetan and Linguistics<br>Department of China & Inner Asia and Department of Linguistics<br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear all,<br><br>I am currently doing some work looking at the structure
of PhD dissertations that are grammatical descriptions or grammars, and I am having a particularly difficult time
finding work beyond the USA, Australia and The Netherlands. <br><br>In particular I am looking for:<br><div><br>- PhD dissertations/theses (no MA sorry!);<br>
- Dated 2003-2012;<br>-
That are based on primary documentation of a language, and are either a
grammatical description of the whole system, or focus on a specific
morpho-syntactic area;<br>- Are from institutions not in Australia/Canada/USA/Netherlands;<br>- Are in English;<br>- That I could access as an electronic copy.<br><br></div><div>I know that those countries do dominate the research field in this area, but I'm hoping to add to the few examples that I already have. They do not need to be T-B focused. <br>
</div><div><br></div><div>If you are able to help me at all, I would be much obliged. <br>
<br></div><div>Many thanks, <br><br></div>Lauren</div>
