Abstract:

This work is a balanced list of references to grammars aimed fortypologists. It lists the most extensive grammatical description for thebest documented language of each genetic subfamily. If there are severaldescriptions/languages of more or less the same depth and scope, only oneor two of them are explicitly listed, the rest being traceable viareferences. Previously, there has been an oft-noted lack of such a listthat is unbiased, comprehensive and up-to-date.All known reported languages, whether living or dead, are accounted for bypointers to publications with information on the language. The listing isheaded with clear definitions on what is included, information on relatedlanguage listings, statistics onthe documentation of languages, and some information on the issues oflanguage description in general.
