Description
The Kāicheeāan languagesāKāicheeā, Kaqchikel, TzĀ¢utujil, Sakapulteko, Achi, and Sipakapenseāoccupy a prominent place among the indigenous languages of the Americas because of both their historical significance and the number of speakers (more than one million total). Basic K'ichee' Grammar is an extensive and accurate survey of the principal grammatical structures of Kāicheeā. Written in a clear, nontechnical style to facilitate the learning of the language, it is the only Kāicheeā grammar available in English.
A pedagogical rather than a reference grammar, the book is a thorough presentation of the basics of the Kāicheeā Maya language organized around graded grammatical lessons accompanied by drills and exercises. Author James L. Mondloch spent ten years in Kāicheeā-speaking communities and provides a complete analysis of the Kāicheeā verb system based on the everyday speech of the people and using a wealth of examples and detailed commentaries on actual usage.
A guide for learning the Kāicheeā language, Basic K'ichee' Grammar is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a speaking and reading knowledge of modern Kāicheeā, including linguists, anthropologists, and art historians, as well as nonacademics working in Kāicheeā communities, such as physicians, dentists, community development workers, and educators.
