Abstract:
When the first European missionaries arrived on other continents, it was
decided that the indigenous languages would be used as the means of
christianization. There emerged the need to produce grammars and
dictionaries of those languages. The study of this linguistic material has
so far not received sufficient attention in the field of linguistic
historiography. This volume is the first published collection of papers on
missionary linguistics world-wide; it represents the insights of recent
research, containing an introduction and papers on methodology,
meta-historiography, the historical and cultural background. The book
contains studies about early-modern linguistic works written in Spanish,
Portuguese, English and French, describing among others indigenous
languages from North America and Australia, Maya, Quechua, Xhosa, Japanese,
Kapampangan, and Visaya. Topics dealt with include: innovations of
individual missionaries in lexicography, grammatical analysis, phonology,
morphology, or syntax; creativity in descriptive techniques; differences
and/or similarities of works from different continents, and different
religious backgrounds (Catholic or Protestant).
