This book is a comprehensive grammar of the Basque language. The phonology, morphology and syntax of the language are described in detail. The description is illustrated with fully-glossed examples both constructed and extracted from a great number of written sources. Although the focus is the modern standard language, dialectal features are considered in some detail and examples are taken from all dialects and periods.
