Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This is a compilation of basic linguistic and anthropological information about the Korowai of Irian Jaya (the western half of New Guinea). Remote and untouched by the modern world, they are threatened by the larger Indonesian society. Their language, oral literature, and ethnography are examined in a systematic and integrated manner.
MoreLong description:
the book clearly and precisely presents new and fascinating ethnographic and linguistic data at the same time giving an example of how to describe grammatical structures within the ethnographic setting and doing without a forbiddig theoretical framework. Besides that, it is a practical introduction into linguistic anthropology and Papuan liguistics which cannot be restricted to grammar, but has to include semantics, lexicon, and the edition of texts. Volker Heeschen, Anthropos 94.1999
