A Native American language formerly spoken in hundreds of communities in the interior of California, Patwin (also known as Wintun T?ewe) is now spoken by a small but growing number of language revitalizationists and their students. A Grammar of Patwin brings together two hundred years of word lists, notebooks, audio recordings, and manuscripts from archives across the United States and synthesizes this scattered collection into the first published description of the Patwin language. This book shines a light on the knowledge of past speakers and researchers with a clear and well-organized description supported by ample archival evidence.

Lewis C. Lawyer addresses the full range of grammatical structure with chapters on phonetics, phonology, nominals, nominal modifiers, spatial terms, verbs, and clauses. At every level of grammatical structure there is notable variation between dialects, and this variation is painstakingly described. An introductory chapter situates the language geographically and historically and also gives a detailed account of previous work on the language and of the archival materials on which the study is based. Throughout the process of writing this book, Lawyer remained in contact with Patwin communities and individuals, who helped to ensure that the content is appropriate from a cultural perspective.

"Lawyer's grammar of Patwin is an excellent work and an important new resource in that it takes diverse documentation from numerous scholars collected over approximately two centuries and creates a clear, concise, yet also in-depth description, which maintains the rich variation present across Patwin dialects while also remaining accessible to both the scholarly community and those outside of it. This grammar is also of significance and importance to those working to study and revitalize the Patwin language."—Uldis Balodis, Linguistic Typology
