Beschreibung

Takelma Texts And Notes On Chasta Costa Phonology And Morphology is a book written by Edward Sapir and first published in 1914. The book contains a collection of Takelma texts, which are stories and legends from the Takelma people, a Native American tribe from southwestern Oregon. The texts were collected and translated by Sapir, who was a linguist and anthropologist.In addition to the Takelma texts, the book also includes notes on the phonology and morphology of Chasta Costa, a dialect of the Takelma language. Sapir provides detailed analysis of the sounds and grammatical structures of the language, as well as comparisons with other Native American languages.The book is a valuable resource for linguists, anthropologists, and anyone interested in Native American languages and cultures. It provides a rare glimpse into the language and traditions of the Takelma people, who have largely been displaced from their ancestral lands. The book is written in English, but includes some Takelma words and phrases, as well as a glossary of linguistic terms.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

Autor

The renowned American linguist and anthropologist Edward Sapir (1884-1939) made substantial contributions to the study of language and linguistics. He was born in Lauenburg, Germany, and immigrated to America at the age of five with his family. Sapir graduated with a Bachelor's degree from Columbia University in 1904, and the same university also awarded him a Ph.D. in anthropology in 1909. Afterwards, he had academic posts at a number of institutions, including Yale University and the Universities of California, Berkeley, Chicago, and Los Angeles. At Yale, he taught anthropology and linguistics. Sapir's research centred on the study of language and culture, and he significantly influenced both of them. His writings on the topic, such as "The Takelma Language of Southwestern Oregon" and "The Southern Paiute Language," are widely regarded as pioneering studies of Native American languages. Sapir was not only a scholar but also a gifted poet and writer. In addition to "The Psychology of Culture" and "Selected Essays in Language, Culture, and Personality," he also produced many poetry collections. We now have a far deeper grasp of language and society as a result of Sapir's contributions to the fields of linguistics and anthropology. He is still a major player in the subject today, and his research is still being examined and discussed by academics all around the globe.
