This is the first grammar in English of a language of the Songhay family of West Africa. The emphasis is on grammatical categories and morphosyntax. Topics of special interest are focalization and relativization, logophoric pronouns, conjunction, and serial verbs. The factual presentation is straightforward, without theory-specific formalisms. Koyra Chiini and its offshoot Djenné Chiini (described in an appendix) are of historical interest as possible semi-creolized versions of mainstream Songhay languages.

This is a comprehensive study of the Jewish and Muslim dialect networks of Morocco in its traditional boundaries.

(The Western Sahara, whose vernacular Arabic is of Mauritanian type, was off- limits during the time of fieldwork and is not covered.)

Meanwhile, people with important ideas–business people, teachers, politicians, journalists, and others–struggle to make their ideas “stick.” Why do some ideas thrive while others die? And how do we improve the chances of worthy ideas? In Made to Stick, accomplished educators and idea collectors Chip and Dan Heath tackle head-on thes
