Download or read book Nooksack Place Names written by Allan Richardson and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-08-25 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

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.

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, ..

Download or read book Handbook of Heritage, Community, and Native American Languages in the United States written by Terrence G. Wiley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-03 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-published by the Center for Applied Linguistics Timely and comprehensive, this state-of-the-art overview of major issues related to heritage, community, and Native American languages in the United States, based on the work of noted authorities, draws from a variety of perspectives—the speakers; use of the languages in the home, community, and wider society; patterns of acquisition, retention, loss, and revitalization of the languages; and specific education efforts devoted to developing stronger connections with and proficiency in them. Contributions on language use, programs and instruction, and policy focus on issues that are applicable to many heritage language contexts. Offering a foundational perspective for serious students of heritage, community, and Native American languages as they are learned in the classroom, transmitted across generations in families, and used in communities, the volume provides background on the history and current status of many languages in the linguistic mosaic of U.S. society and stresses the importance of drawing on these languages as societal, community, and individual resources, while also noting their strategic importance within the context of globalization.
Download or read book The Pacific Northwest Tribes Indian Language Collection of the Oregon Province Archives of the Society of Jesus written by and published by . This book was released on 1870 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This microfilm project comprises 23,716 pages of Indian language material. Although the complete Oregon Province Archives collection consists of language selections from some forty-two tribes, only twelve tribes have been filmed. They consist almost exclusively of manuscripts, with the exception of printed material that has been annotated by a Jesuit language expert. The remaining thirty tribes were represented solely by non-annotated printed material and thus fall outside of the scope of this project. The material filmed represents virtually 100 percent of the Oregon Province Archives Indian Language Collection within each tribe. Only non-annotated printed material, incoherent notes and duplications have been excluded.
