Editorial Reviews
Review
“In sum, this volume increases our knowledge of this Siberian ‘isolate’ quite considerably-especially of its syntax and discourse-related factors affecting morphosyntactic choises. It is a reference book that any general typologist or student of northern Eurasia should have within reach.” Micheal Fortescue in: Anthropological Linguistics 45, 3-2003
