The series builds an extensive collection of high quality descriptions of languages around the
world. Each volume offers a comprehensive grammatical description of a single language together
with fully analyzed sample texts and if appropriate a word list and other relevant
information which is available on the language in question. There are no restrictions as to
language family or area and although special attention is paid to hitherto undescribed
languages new and valuable treatments of better known languages are also included. No
theoretical model is imposed on the authors the only criterion is a high standard of
scientific quality.
