Abstract:

A milestone in Sinama (Sama) [sml] research has been reached with the
publication of the Central Sinama–English Dictionary, making available
a wealth of lexical, grammatical, and cultural information on a
lesser-researched but important language of the Sulu archipelago in
southwestern Philippines.

The collection of words and study of culture was compiled over 60
years, initially capturing a rare snapshot of Sama language and
culture in Sulu in the 1960s and 1970s. The dictionary database was
expanded in subsequent years through the efforts of contributors and
researchers, with each entry containing well chosen, highly idiomatic,
and culturally rich example sentences. The local speech community will
find it a rich practical resource, as will Philippine university
researchers and schoolteachers.

This volume will be of value to Austronesianists, anthropologists,
typologists, and theoretical linguists, and lexicographers will be
interested in the use of FLEx tools for cross-referencing the web of
thesaurus relations.
