Essentials of Language Documentation by Jost Gippert
The crosslinguistic studies of the early developmental stages of number, case, and gender in twelve typologically different languages with eight genetic affiliations follow a functional-constructivist approach. Some issues addressed are mean size of paradigms, percentage of base forms, and productivity. One of the main findings is that the typological characteristics of the language acquired influence the process of inflectional development.-

"Anyone intending to go into the field to document a language should read this book thoroughly before proceedingIt will not tell them what to collect, but could save them endless intellectual frustration. It is a worthy addition to the small but growing number of books on linguistic fieldwork."Anthony P. Grant in: Journal of The Royal Anthropological Institute 14.3/2008
