5.0 out of 5 stars
An expansive, thorough, scholarly reference,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oneida-English/English-Oneida Dictionary (Hardcover)
Compiled by Karin E. Michelson (Associate Professor of Linguistics, State University of New York at Buffalo) and Mercy A. Doxtator (former Oneida-language teacher at the Standing Stone School at Oneida-of-the-Thames, and Director of the Oneida Language Center, 1993-1997), Oneida-English English-Oneida Dictionary is an expansive, thorough, scholarly reference for the Iroquoian Native American language, which is currently at risk of extinction and spoken fluently by fewer than 250 people. The Oneida-English portion features approximately 6000 entries, offering lexical bases, particles, and grammatical morphemes to round out its solid information. A brief yet thorough and competent guide to the essential basics of the Oneida language, its grammar and pronunciation prefaces the extensive list of dictionary entries. Oneida-English English-Oneida Dictionary is an impressive, scholarly, and thoroughly professional reference, and a welcome presentation and preservation of a rich cultural and traditional Native American language.
