Scholarly Grammars

Linguists often use scholarly "Grammars" to find descriptions of how specific languages function. There's no perfect way to find the library's entire collection of scholarly grammars, so you'll want to work with your professor and with Iris to identify a good one for your purposes. However, searching for your language name and "grammars" as a Subject will get you started. In the example search below, I've also narrowed it down to some of the key scholarly publishers.
