490 1  Studies in the anthropology of North American Indians 
500    "In cooperation with the American Indian Studies Research 
       Institute, Indiana University, Bloomington." 
504    Includes bibliographical references (pages 361-369) and 
       index. 
520    This book is the most comprehensive reference grammar of 
       Choctaw, an American Indian language spoken by 
       approximately eleven thousand people located primarily in 
       Mississippi and Oklahoma. Based on nineteen years of field
       work with speakers of the Mississippi and Oklahoma 
       dialects and more than 150 years of written Choctaw 
       material, "A Choctaw Reference Grammar" contains the most 
       complete description to date of the morphology of the 
       language as well as a thorough treatment of phrase 
       structure, word order, case marking, and complementation. 
       The Choctaw tribe was divided into Oklahoma and 
       Mississippi groups during the Indian Removal of the 1830s.
       Today the majority of fluent speakers among the Oklahoma 
       Choctaws are more than forty years old, and few children 
       speak the language. Although more children among the 
       Mississippi Choctaws learn the language, the number is 
       declining. Because language is vital to preserving the 
       Choctaws' way of life and both dialects of Choctaw are 
       endangered, careful documentation of the grammatical 
       structure of the language is critically important.; 
       Compiled by the leading scholarly expert on the Choctaw 
       language, George Aaron Broadwell, this volume is both a 
       practical guide to native speakers and an indispensable 
       handbook for linguists. George Aaron Broadwell is an 
       associate professor of anthropology at the University at 
       Albany, State University of New York. He is the author of 
       "A Mississippi Choctaw-English Dictionary.
