Blackfoot Grammar

This book provides a description and analysis of the major features of Blackfoot grammar and language structure.

From The Publisher:

Thousands of People in Alberta and Montana Speak Blackfoot, an Algonquian language. Their numbers, however, are diminishing, and the survival of Blackfoot is in some danger. To help preserve the language, Donald G. Frantz and Norma Jean Russell collaborated on the Blackfoot Dictionary, published in 1989 to widespread acclaim. Now Frantz has produced this companion volume to the dictionary, a description and analysis of the major features of Blackfoot grammar and language structure, which will be especially useful to those in Native Studies and North American linguistics.

'It compiles a wealth of information in a single volume, which, together with the previously published dictionary, is a welcome addition to the field.' -- Canadian Journal of Linguistics

'Frantz has addressed all of the important aspects of Blackfoot structure and in a way that is accessible to people who need or want to know about the language. His study is ... an outstanding addition to the growing corpus of descriptions of Algonquian languages.' -- American Indian Culture and Research Journal
