Rezensionen
"Anyone intending to go into the field to document a language should read this book thoroughly before proceeding. It will not tell them what to collect, but could save them endless intellectual frustration. It is a worthy addition to the small but growing number of books on linguistic fieldwork."Anthony P. Grant in: Journal of The Royal Anthropological Institute 14.3/2008
