Description

Maku: A Comprehensive Grammar provides an essential reference for the study of the Maku language, once spoken by the jukudeitse people of Venezuela and Brazil. This volume serves as a vital linguistic record, documenting the core grammatical systems of a language that is now extinct. Based on intensive fieldwork conducted with the final two speakers of the language, this book offers a detailed description of the language as it was recorded. The content is presented through a practical combination of lexical items, example sentences, and texts, making it a functional tool for researchers and linguists. This work was developed in response to the loss of linguistic information and recognizes the importance of this language in understanding the sociolinguistic history of the region. It is a significant resource for anyone studying language preservation or the historical linguistics of South America.
