Dissertations on endangered language grammar

[Nathan Hill]

Dear Lauren,

All UK dissertations are in principle downloadable from the British
library.

http://ethos.bl.uk/Home.do

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.

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.

In any case, it might be worth a look.
