4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent survey,
By Selanit "Selanit" (Lakewood, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: O Brave New Words: Native American Loanwords in Current English (Paperback)
This book provides an excellent survey of linguistic interaction between European and North American languages over the last 450 years, as evidenced mainly by loanwords. Accessibly written and historically aware; focuses mainly on English words borrowed from northern tribes, with a secondary emphasis on Spanish and Mesoamerican languages. An excellent read for anyone interested in words for their own sake.
