Content:
From the introduction: The thirty-six papers in this volume are a distillation of those presented at the Festival Conference in Honor of Mary Haas, which was held at the University of California, Santa Cruz for five days from June 23rd to 27th, 1986. This event was conceived originally as a convocation of Haas' students, many of whom are now eminent linguists, with a view to honoring her in her lifetime. However, her reputation and fame are such that many other scholars, not her students, were included. Two ongoing research groups who customarily meet in June somewhere in the western United States - The Hokan-Penutian Group and the Friends of Uto-Aztekan - were joined by other research groups - Algonkianists, Siouanists, Salishanists, Athapaskanists and other Americanist scholars.
