Table of ContentsReviewsDr. Avelino Corral Esteban has produced an impressive and insightful analysis of complex sentences in Cheyenne, a Native American language of the Algonquian family. It presents some unique challenges for any theoretical approach, and Dr. Corral Esteban employs a functional-typological theory, Role and Reference Grammar, which has a sophisticated theory of clause linkage. The result is a very revealing exploration of Cheyenne complex sentences. It is an important contribution to the study of Algonquian languages, on the one hand, and to functional linguistics and language typology, on the other. Prof (emeritus) Robert D.
