Paperback. Zustand: New. Many indigenous American languages face imminent extinction, and the dictionary, often the only written documentation of these languages, stands as a powerful tool in preserving them. These essays, written by leading scholars in Native American language studies, provide a comprehensive picture of the theory and practice of Native American lexicography. The contributors discuss the technical, social, and personal challenges involved with the complex task of creating a dictionary of a Native American language. The book is also the first of its kind to address both standard and new issues surrounding the challenging task of transforming oral languages in general into written dictionaries. Making Dictionaries will be an invaluable source for those involved with all aspects of documenting and understanding endangered languages and for the increasing number of native communities engaged in language reclamation and preservation efforts.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Revised ed. The Chickasaws are one of the Five Tribes removed by the U.S. government to Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) more than 150 years ago from their homelands in the southeastern United States. Most speakers of the Chickasaw language now live in the Chickasaw Nation in south-central Oklahoma. Although there are fewer than one hundred fluent speakers today, the tribe has a language program designed to revitalize and perpetuate the language.This first scholarly dictionary of the Chickasaw language contains a Chickasaw-English section with approximately 12,000 main entries, secondary entries, and cross-references; an English-Chickasaw index; and an extensive introductory section describing the structure of Chickasaw words.The dictionary uses a new spelling system that represents tonal accent and the glottal stop, neither of which is shown in any previous dictionary of either Chickasaw or the closely related Muskogean language, Choctaw. In addition, vowel and consonant length, vowel nasalization, and other important distinctions are given. Grammatical information is also provided.The dictionary is the product of a seventeen-year collaboration between Pamela Munro and Catherine Willmond. They have consulted over forty other Chickasaw speakers in Oklahoma to collect variant forms of words, which are also listed in the dictionary.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Kawaiisu offers the most comprehensive record of the language and culture of the Kawaiisu people, a Native community of the southern Sierra Nevada and adjacent desert regions of California. Drawing on decades of collaboration with Kawaiisu speakers, Maurice L. Zigmond, Curtis G. Booth, and Pamela Munro present a rich and carefully documented study that combines ethnographic detail with linguistic analysis. The volume preserves traditional stories, vocabulary, and cultural practices, situating them within broader contexts of daily life and ceremonial traditions. By doing so, it safeguards knowledge that might otherwise be lost, while providing scholars and community members alike with an indispensable resource. Balancing technical rigor with accessibility, the book demonstrates the authors' commitment to recording and honoring Indigenous voices. Their approach highlights the interplay between language, cultural practice, and worldview, showing how the Kawaiisu have understood and narrated their environment over generations. This study not only advances research in linguistics, anthropology, and Native American studies but also contributes to cultural preservation and revitalization efforts. As such, Kawaiisu is both a scholarly achievement and a testament to the resilience of a people whose traditions continue to shape California's cultural landscape. …
