Delurking & phonetics

[Jeffrey Kopp]

Welcome, Rob!

Melville Jacobs' "Texts in Chinook Jargon" (University of Washington Publications in Anthropology 1932) is available on-line at the Library of Congress:

http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/S?ammem/aipn:@field(SUBJ+@band(Chinook+jargon++Texts))

If this link does not work go to

http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/award98/wauhtml/aipnSubjects5.html

and scroll down to select "Chinook jargon--Texts"

Page v (Web page 7) describes the orthography he used.

These are scanned page images so they may be slow loading.

Regards,

Jeff
