new Mien dictionary

[Martha Ratliff]

Dear everyone,

Doug Cooper kindly gave me a copy of Herb Purnell's long-awaited, beautiful, enormous dictionary of Iu-Mien when we were in Singapore.  I just wanted to let everyone know that it is now in print.  It was put together by Herb working with teams of Mien linguists both in Thailand and in China who checked and re-checked the entries.  Each entry has phrases giving linguistic contexts of use, as well as cultural information giving social contexts of use.

Here is the reference:
Purnell, Herbert C.  2012. An Iu-Mienh-English Dictionary with Cultural Notes.  Chiang Mai: Silkworm Books.

Cheers,
Martha
