Linguists, Nilotic specialists and speakers of Luwo alike welcome this well-researched and clearly presented grammar. Well done!

- Leoma Gilley, SIL Training Director for Africa,

In her of study of Luwo, a poorly studied Western Nilotic language of Southern Sudan, Anne Storch has gone beyond the usual categories dealt with in grammars to cover areas of ethnosemantics passed over by more conventional descriptions. The Luwo language is set in its sociological context, and issues such as contact, multilingualism and the variety of oral genres all find a place in later chapters. In particular the text has extended coverage of ideophones and other terms that are hard to capture, as well as sections on smell, taste and experience. Reference is made throughout to the global typological literature, so the book should find an audience beyond those specifically interested in Nilotic languages.
