Reviews
Strongly rooted in day-to-day Quichua cultural experiences, this innovative and highly practical course book provides many insights into the language spoken in the upper Amazon in Ecuador. In its organization it strikes the right balance netween grammatical overwies and cultural practices. It's your best entry into Quichua language-culture and a book that makes you want to learn.
Pieter Muysken, Radboud University
“This text represents a major accomplishment and considerably expands the
available scholarship on not just one, but two varieties of Amazonian
Quichua. This book is quite clearly the result of careful scholarship and long-
term research with speakers of Amazonian Quichua. Writing with sensitivity
to the rich linguistic and cultural practices of their interlocutors, the authors
open a path for students to enter the relational world of Amazonian Quichua.
Not just a linguistic textbook, the authors also contextualize the linguistic
practices within the vibrant, and at times unfamiliar, social environment of
speakers of Amazonian Quichua. This book will be useful for introductory
and advanced language courses, as well as for independent scholars.”
