Oneida Verb Morphology is a scholarly work by Floyd Glenn Lounsbury, published as part of the Yale University Publications In Anthropology series. The book focuses on the analysis of the verb morphology of the Oneida language, a member of the Iroquoian language family spoken by the Oneida people of upstate New York. The book provides a detailed description of the complex system of verb inflection in Oneida, including the various morphological forms and the rules governing their use. The author also explores the historical development of the verb system, tracing its evolution from earlier stages of the language and comparing it to other Iroquoian languages.
