Ken Pike: Scholar and Christian, a biography of linguist Kenneth L. Pike, written by his sister. She describes how scholarship and deep faith in God have been the basis for her brother's many achievements. Though his interest in linguistics arose from practical needs and ever finds new practical application he has become one of the most significant American theoreticians... Throughout his career he has manifested a gentle modesty rare to his profession...redoubtable in controversy but respectful toward his adversaries, poet and teacher of composition, he approaches the ideal of the Christian gentleman in his work and in his life... Dr. Raven I. McDavid, Jr. University of Chicago Pike is one of the rare academic figures known to me whose eminence in research, versatility in public affairs, and skill in teaching is of equally extraordinary value to the institutions which are fortunate enough to enjoy his many-sided services... Dr. Thomas A. SebeckResearch Center for Language and Semiotic Studies ...I would say without hesitation that his combination of theoretical power, descriptive insight and practical facility is unique in the subject.

<p>This volume, the result of seven years of fieldwork, is the only comprehensive grammar of the underdocumented Digo (Chidigo) language to date. Digo is the southernmost language of the Mijikenda cluster of Bantu languages, spoken along the coast of East Africa in Kenya and Tanzania. Besides a clear description of Digo morphology and syntax, with multiple illustrative examples, this grammar includes several glossed texts, a 1700-item wordlist, and a list of over 100 botanical names. It gives particular emphasis to semantic and discourse relations of elements which are not always analyzed from this perspective in grammatical descriptions. These include the forms and functions of Digo's complex system of demonstratives, a description of over 30 tense, aspect, and movement markers, and a detailed discussion of information structure and non-verbal clauses. This book will be of interest to linguists concerned with Bantu languages, typology, morphosyntax, and semantics. The entire Mijikenda cluster is underdocumented, and this grammar makes a significant contribution to understanding of languages of that area. Steve Nicolle received a D.Phil. from the University of York, UK. He is currently serving as a Linguistics and Translation Consultant for SIL Africa Area. He has written several articles on Digo, and along with Joseph Mwalonya, Alison Nicolle, and Juma Zimbu, is the compiler of Mgombato: Digo-English-Swahili Dictionary.</p>
