Cubeo grammar
by Nancy L. Morse
"The Cubeo people live principally along the Vaupes, Cuduyari, and Querari rivers in the northwest Amazon River Basin. Although the Cubeos have had contact with people outside their communities since the sixteenth century, their language and culture have remained intact." "In this volume the reader gains an overview of Cubeo phonology and morphophonemics, word classes, clause structure, and subordination. The text is richly documented with examples.".
"This grammar is expecially interesting for linguists studying languages of the Tuconoan language family. The distinctive features of Cubeo grammar are the extensive system of classifiers for nouns and their modifiers, the evidential system for verbs indicating the source or validity of the information communicated, and a basic division of all verbs into two categories - stative and dynamic."--BOOK JACKET.
