Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Words carry maps of memory.In On Algonkin Names For Man, J. Hammond Trumbull follows those maps into the deep history of speech, tracing how a single idea - man - is named, shaped, and re-shaped across Algonquian languages.This concise linguistic monograph and philological essay examines algonquian terms for man through sound patterns, shifts in meaning, and careful comparison of algonquian word origins. Trumbull writes from the heart of 19th century philology, when scholars began to treat northeastern native languages with the rigour of classical study. The result is a focused work of native american etymology that still rewards modern readers: a sharp tool for indigenous studies research, a model argument for historical linguistics students, and a welcome companion to anyone browsing an algonquian language dictionary or interested in comparative american linguistics. Along the way, Trumbull shows how pronunciation, morphology, and borrowing can signal contact and migration without reducing living cultures to curiosities. Clear and tightly argued, it welcomes the attentive non-specialist as well as the bibliophile of early American scholarship.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Whether you come for scholarship, cultural history, or the pleasure of seeing language analysed with precision, this academic reprint edition offers a small, authoritative window onto the intellectual roots of American linguistic study. A classic for shelves devoted to language, history, and the Americas. …
