Cook Eung-Do, Kaye Jonathan (eds.). Linguistic studies of native Canada

Vancouver: University of British Columbia Press, 1978. — vi, 279 p.Linguistic Studies of Native Canada contains fifteen papers on various aspects of linguistic structure in a number of Canadian Native languages. Most of the essays are extremely informative and well written, although all are highly technical in nature and almost certainly inaccessible to the reader without linguistic training. Linguistics, which in the Americanist tradition is an outgrowth of anthropology, is still nominally identified in many university bulletins as one of the four sub-fields of the latter discipline. In fact, however, lin-guistics has become almost incomprehensible to non-linguists, and even to many linguists who received their academic training prior to the mid-1960s. This increase in complexity reflects a fundamental change in research objectives within the field. As the papers in Linguistic Studies of Native Canada make clear, linguists are currently asking considerably more difficult questions of their data than they used to.Chambers, J.K. Dakota accent.
