Director of Research for Living Tongues Institute for Endangered
Languages Dr. K. David Harrison published his book When
Languages Die with Oxford University Press in 2007. This book is
the first account of global language endangerment and the threat
of knowledge loss that is looming as a humanitarian and
scientific catastrophe written for a popular audience. It is
also the first book for a general audience on language
endangerment written by a linguist with field experience with
endangered languages. Data from the Living Tongues Institute for
Endangered Languages India 2005 Field Expedition is featured in
several places throughout as are things from the Ös
Documentation Project Siberia 2005 Field Expedition |

This book by Dr. Gregory D. S. Anderson of Living Tongues

analysis of data from verbal systems of languages of the diverse
Munda language family. In addition to general information on

Voice, Tense/Aspect/Mood/Transitivity, Referent Indexing,
Negation, Incorporation, Switch Reference, and Complex
Predicates. Comments on historical developments, where
appropriate or merited, are offered throughout as well. The book
The Munda Verb: Typological Perspectives is written for
professional linguists and advanced graduate students interested
in typology, South Asian linguistics, morphology, and language
change.

Auxiliary Verb Constructions 2006 Oxford University Press.

A new approach to the study of complex predicates by Dr. Gregory
D. S. Anderson of Living Tongues Institute for Endangered
Languages is a benchmark for future research in typology. With a
sample of over 800 languages, the issue of how to construct a
valid index of a linguistic phenomenon across the world’s
languages appears to be resolved. This panchronic approach
discusses the full range of functional specialization of and
formal developments from two part phrasal constructs to verbal
affix that characterizes auxiliary verb constructions and
related complex predicate structure types (serial verb
constructions, medial verb forms, etc.). This book is written
for advanced graduate students of linguistics and professional
linguists. Auxiliary Verb Constructions is of particular
interest to specialists in historical linguistics, linguistic
typology, syntax, semantics, morphology, or grammaticalization.
