Comanche Vocabulary: Trilingual Edition
ISBN: 9780292727830 / Angielski / Miękka / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Understanding Indian Place Names in Southern New England
ISBN: 9780982046760 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In New England, American Indian people have left their ancient footprints in many of the current names for mountains, rivers, lakes, animals, fish, cities, towns, and byways. The first English settlers, who put most of the American Indian words on the map, borrowed names from local tribes. In the process, they often misheard, mispronounced, or misreported what they heard - that is how the place Wequapaugset was given as Boxet or how Musquompskut became Swampscott. In many cases the Indian terms have changed so much over time that linguists are unable to recognize the original spelling and...

Wishram Texts & Ethnography
ISBN: 9783110123289 / Angielski / Twarda / 518 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The works of Edward Sapir (1884 - 1939) continue to provide inspiration to all interested in the study of human language.

Making Wawa: The Genesis of Chinook Jargon
ISBN: 9780774815260 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A two-edged sword of reconciliation and betrayal, Chinook Jargon (aka Wawa) arose at the interface of "Indian" and "White" societies in the Pacific Northwest. Wawa's sources lie first in the language of the Chinookans who lived along the lower Columbia River, but also with the Nootkans of the outer coast of Vancouver Island. With the arrival of the fur trade, the French of the engages or voyageurs provided additional vocabulary and a set of viable cultural practices, a key element of which was marital bonding with Indian and metisse women. These women and their children were the first...
