Author: Ewa Czaykowska-Higgins
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3110801256
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 589
Book Description
TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across theoretical frameworks as well as studies that provide new insights by building bridges to neighbouring fields such as neuroscience and cognitive science. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the ecology and evolution of language. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS publishes monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited volumes, which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from different empirical and theoretical viewpoints. High quality standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing.

Nooksack Place Names
Author: Allan Richardson
Publisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774820489
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Place names can lead us on fascinating journeys into other cultures. They convey a people’s relationship to the land, their sense of place. For indigenous peoples, place names can also be central to the revival of endangered languages. This book takes readers on an exciting voyage into the history, language, and culture of the Nooksack Tribe of Washington State and southern British Columbia. Allan Richardson and Brent Galloway trace the richness and strength of the Nooksack people’s connection to the land by documenting more than 150 places named by elders and mentioned in key historical texts. Descriptions of Nooksack history and naming patterns – combined with maps, photographs, and detailed linguistic analyses – give life to a nearly extinct language and illuminate the intertwined relationships of place, culture, language, and identity.

Book Description
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 57. Chapters: Alsea language, Chehalis people, Chinook Jargon, Coast Salish languages, Coast Tsimshian language, Comox language, Cowlitz language, Ditidaht language, Eyak language, Gitxsan language, Haida language, Haisla language, Halkomelem language, Heiltsuk-Oowekyala language, Heiltsuk dialect, Klallam language, Kwak'wala, Lummi dialect, Lushootseed language, Makah language, Nooksack language, North Straits Salish language, Nuu-chah-nulth language, Nuxalk language, Oowekyala dialect, Oregon Coast Penutian languages, Oregon Penutian languages, Quinault people, Saanich dialect, Sechelt language, Siuslaw language, Squamish language, Takelma language, Tillamook language, Tlingit language, Tsimshianic languages, Twana language, Wakashan languages, Whulshootseed dialect. Excerpt: Haida () is the language of the Haida people, spoken in the Haida Gwaii archipelago of the coast of Canada and on Prince of Wales Island in Alaska. An endangered language, Haida currently has about 55 native speakers, though revitalization efforts are underway. At the time of European contact in 1774, Haida speakers numbered about 15,000; epidemic soon led to a drastic reduction in the Haida population, which became limited to three villages: Masset, Skidegate, and Hydaburg. Positive attitudes towards assimilation combined with the ban on speaking Haida in residential schools led to a sharp decline in the use of the Haida language among the Haida people, and today almost all ethnic Haida use English to communicate. Classification of the Haida language is a matter of controversy, with some linguists placing it in the Na-Dene language family and others arguing that it is a language isolate. Haida itself is split between Northern and Southern dialects, which differ primarily in phonology. The Northern Haida dialects have developed radical consonants, ..
