Abstract:
Edited by the eminent anthropologist and linguist Franz Boas (1858–1942), this
work was first published in two huge volumes between 1911 and 1922. Comprising
detailed studies of several Native American languages, Volume 1 has been split
into two parts for this reissue. Part 2 contains chapters on the Chinook,
Maidu, Algonquian, Siouan and Inuit languages. Each chapter contains a
discussion of the speakers of the language, its geographical distribution, the
phonetic system, and an analysis of the grammar and vocabulary. The work built
upon the foundations laid by J. W. Powell (1834–1902) in his Introduction to
the Study of Indian Languages (1877). Boas, a pioneer in the field of cultural
anthropology, intended the present work to promote his culturally relativist
approach to ethnographic study. Overall, the project ranks as a landmark in
entrenching scientific principles for the study of North America's indigenous
peoples and languages.
