Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a dictionary and grammar guide to the Chinook Jargon, a vital trade language that flourished in the Pacific Northwest from traders up until the twentieth century. The author draws from nearly thirty years of experience speaking the language with both Native Americans and white settlers to provide accurate descriptions of the language's vocabulary, syntax, and usage. Chinook Jargon is placed within its historical context as a pivotal medium of communication that facilitated trade, diplomacy, and cultural exchange between diverse groups. The book delves into the language's complex tonal inflections, variable sentence construction, and its capacity to convey nuanced ideas through a limited vocabulary. The book illuminates the creative linguistic strategies employed by Chinook speakers, providing valuable insights into the adaptability and expressiveness of human language.
