This book offers a description of the syntax of two Haida dialects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eHaida Syntax\u003c\/i\u003e makes an enormous contribution to our understanding of the syntax and semantics of Haida. There is very little published material available on this language, and in this book John Enrico brings together a rich range of syntactic and semantic material on the language. . . . A book of this magnitude will make Haida one of the syntactically best described languages.\"—Keren Rice, author of \u003ci\u003eMorpheme Order and Semantic Scope: Word Formation in the Athapaskan Verb\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"One of the most valuable features of \u003ci\u003eHaida Syntax\u003c\/i\u003e is the semantic detail that is given regarding verbs, constructions, etc. This will be immensely useful to linguists of all theoretical persuasions, as they try their hand at analyzing this fascinating language within their own theoretical framework. Also, the extensive discussion of focus and its role within the grammar is very valuable.\"—Robert D.

There is exceptional depth and breadth to Enrico's research program. . . .
