Another source on Quechua is Wolfgang Wolck, Dept. of Linguistics,

Another source of ionformation on Quechua is my book "Imbabura Quechua",
in the Lingua Descriptive Series. A problem with the book is that it has
no index It follows the format of all the books in the series, so you
should get a copy of the issue of Lingua which gives a detailed table of
contents for all books in the series. That is in Lingua 42, 1-77. Some
other important sources are the series of 5 reference grammars in Spanish
called "Gramatica Quechua . . .", Lima, Ministry of Education, 1976; David
Weber's two monographs published by U California Press, Pieter Muysken and
Claire LeFebvre's book and articles, Gaby Hermon's book, MOdularity in
Syntax, Foris. Sorry I don't have complete references for all of the
above handy.

morphology.

An excellent source of information on Quechua is Bruce Mannheim, Dept. of
Anthropology, U. of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48202 (don't know if he uses
e-mail). Please feel free to say I recommended him.

Kluwer Academic Publishers published in 1988 "Mixed Categories:
Nominalizations in Quechua" by Claire Lefebvre (UQAM) and Pieter
Muysken (University of Amsterdam). Although this volume is not
of an introductory nature, it may contain information helpful to
the person enquiring about Quechua. It is available in paperback
ISBN 1-55608-051-4.

The literature on Quechua is quite large, and has gotten better over the
last ten years. I don't have my collection with me here, but the authors I
recommend are Weber, Huallaga (Huanuco) Quechua Grammar (UC Publications in
Linguistics), works on Ayacucho Quechua by Clodoaldo Soto Ruiz, mentioned by
Mike Cheney, Ayacucho Grammar and Dictionary by Gary Parker (published by
Mouton in 1968 I think), for Ecuadorian Quechua, there is a pedagogical
grammar by Stark and Muysken (I think), and a descriptive grammar by Peter
Cole: Imbabura Quechua (in the Lingua Descriptive Series); there are two
pedagogical grammars for Bolivian Quechua, one by Bills, Troike, and
Vallejo, An Introduction to Spoken Bolivian Quechua (U texas Press), and one
by Louisa Stark. For Argentinian Quechua, all there is is the works by
Domingo Bravo, not sophisticated linguistically. For Cuzco Quechua, the
variety most people want to learn, there are unpublished pedagogical
materials by Sola (Cornell U.), a grammar and dictionary by Antonio
Cusihuaman, published in Lima, an older but quite large dictionary by Jorge
Lira, published in Buenos Aires. I'm sure there are several other recent
pedagogical works on Bolivian and Cuzco Quechua, but don't remember titles.
A good contact person, who has taught Puno (Cuzco) Quechua at U. Penn. is
Nancy Hornberger, Dept. of Linguistics or Anthropology. Another grammar I
just thought of is Willem Adelaar, Tarma Quechua. One should also be aware
of the fact that Quechua is not a group of dialects but a group of mutually
unintelligible but closely related languages, so one should always specify
which area one is interested in.
