Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced title.

Anthology of Menominee Sayings is the result of seven years of field work
(conducted during the 1980's) with about half a dozen speakers of one of
Wisconsin's indigenous Algonquian languages. The anthology, consisting of some
450 short pieces of Menominee oral tradition, contains weather rules,
conventions and taboos surrounding hunting and fishing, wisdom on the conduct
of life, and omens predicting good or ill. The texts, therefore, tell of the
community's interest in the contour of life from its inception to its
preservation and eventual demise. Each text is accompanied by an English
translation and, where necessary, explanatory linguistic and cultural notes.

The notes take Bloomfield's grammatical description and lexicon of Menominee
as a point of comparison, and indicate phonetic, phonological, morphological,
syntactic and semantic departures from the state of the language as described
by him. The text is useful to students of culture, folklore, Native American
studies, as well as historical and descriptive linguistics.

The volume concludes with a short descriptive grammar focusing on phonology,
morphology and syntax.
