Abstract:

This handbook provides broad coverage of the languages indigenous to
North America, with special focus on typologically interesting
features and areal characteristics, surveys of current work, and
topics of particular importance to communities. The volume is divided
into two major parts: subfields of linguistics and family sketches.
The subfields include those that are customarily addressed in
discussions of North American languages (sounds and sound structure,
words, sentences), as well as many that have received somewhat less
attention until recently (tone, prosody, sociolinguistic variation,
directives, information structure, discourse, meaning, language over
space and time, conversation structure, evidentiality, pragmatics,
verbal art, first and second language acquisition, archives, evolving
notions of fieldwork). Family sketches cover major language families
and isolates and highlight topics of special value to communities
engaged in work on language maintenance, documentation, and
revitalization.

Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics

Subject Language(s): English (eng)

Written In: English (eng)
