Abstract

[Extract] In the last three years two great figures of South American linguistics have been honored with collections of papers: Willem Adelaar with the volume Linguistics and Archaeology in the Americas (henceforth LAA), edited by Eithne Carlin and Simon van de Kerke; and Rodolfo Cerrón-Palomino with the volume Estudios sobre lenguas andinas y amazónicas (henceforth Estudios), edited by Willem Adelaar, Pilar Valenzuela and Roberto Zariquiey. The honorees of both collections are well known for their work in Andean linguistics, most especially on Quechua, and a glance at their bibliographies shows what close contemporaries they are: Adelaar's first book publication is Tarma Quechua, Grammar, Texts, Dictionary (1977) and Cerrón-Palomino's are Diccionario quechua: Junín-Huanca and Gramática quechua: Junín-Huanca (both 1976). Shortly after receiving a review copy of LAA, I also received a copy of Estudios, and with such close parallels between the volumes there was no question that they should be reviewed side-by-side. In my review I discuss each of the volumes in turn, and then offer a brief discussion of selected themes by way of conclusion.
