Abstract
3001. Adams, Douglas Q. INTERNAL RECONSTRUCTION IN MUTSUN MORPHOLOGY. International Journal of American Linguistics. 1985,51(4): 329-330. Okrand has served everyone interested in the Costanoan languages once spoken between San Francisco and Monterey by working up of Harrington's data on Mutsun (spoken in the San Juan Bautista area), collected in the twenties from the last native speaker. Okrand's grammar is a substantial and elegant synchronic description of Mutsun. This note attempts to take a few bits and pieces of his description and bring them together to illuminate some possible prehistorical processes of the language.
