The Navajo Verb: A Grammar for Students and Scholars: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Navajo Verb: A Grammar for Students and Scholars" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The verb is the most important and the most complex part of Navajo grammar. For the first time, students and scholars interested in the Navajo language have a book that presents the verb system in a step-by-step and thorough fashion. By providing easy-to-follow descriptions with abundant examples, this book unravels the complexity of Navajo and reveals its expressiveness.In Navajo, numerous prefixes combine with verb roots to form single words that, in English translation, require a phrase or even a sentence to convey their meaning. Therefore, verb stems and prefixes must be mastered piece by piece to understand the language. This volume leads the reader carefully and systematically through the complexities of the Navajo verb system. By doing so, the book makes Navajo more accessible to all those interested in the American Indian language with the largest number of speakers in the United States.This work is outstanding for the way in which the materials and rules are organized.Dr. Sally Midgette, coauthor of Analytical Lexicon of Navajo
