of French
                        Loans in Carrier" (pp.484-502)

                        Abstract:
                                Most French loans in Carrier are directly
from Canadian
                                French (not via Chinook jargon). Implications
for
                                Carrier phonology are discussed.

                        Abstract:
                                Chinook Jargon texts show narrative
patternings of the
                                same kind as found in the speakers'
respective Indian
                                languages,arguing for the historical
continuity of these
                                cultural traditions.

                                Working from a database of 292 languages
"from the
                                Arctic to Tierra del Fuego") B. here focuses
on the areal
                                diffusion of native words for European
objects and
                                concepts. He finds 80% of all sharing of such
terms is
                                among genetically related languages;
otherwise terms
                                tend to diffuse from a lingua franca such as
Chinook
                                Jargon or Quechua. Bilingualism plays an
important role.

                        Abstract:
                                P. & P. defend the Weak Coronal
Hypothesis,which
                                holds that when a consonant receives a default
                                articulator it must be Coronal. They
reanalyze cases in
                                Chinook and Choctaw (as well as Luganda) in
which it
                                has been claimed that velars, not coronals,
are
                                unmarked.

Jargon"

                        Abstract:
                                Before and during the time when Chinook
Jargon was
                                created in the lower Columbia River area
there was
                                contact with native Americans all along the
coast on the
                                part of whites and their non-white workers.
                                Jargonization must have characterized
attempts to
                                communicate with the coastal people,and a
Nootka
                                jorgon probably arose at Friendly Cove. (For

                        Abstract:
                                The linguistic and social stability of
Chinook Jargon in
                                the 1825-45 period was less firm than has been
                                supposed. While it was undoubtedly central to
                                interethnic communication on the NW Coast,CJ
lacked
                                institutional support and was regarded as
unsuitable
                                either for long-term use or for expressive
needs. By the
                                1840s it was already on its way out.
