Description

Takelma Texts And Notes On Chasta Costa Phonology And Morphology is a book written by Edward Sapir and first published in 1914. The book contains a collection of Takelma texts, which are stories and legends from the Takelma people, a Native American tribe from southwestern Oregon. The texts were collected and translated by Sapir, who was a linguist and anthropologist.In addition to the Takelma texts, the book also includes notes on the phonology and morphology of Chasta Costa, a dialect of the Takelma language. Sapir provides detailed analysis of the sounds and grammatical structures of the language, as well as comparisons with other Native American languages.The book is a valuable resource for linguists, anthropologists, and anyone interested in Native American languages and cultures. It provides a rare glimpse into the language and traditions of the Takelma people, who have largely been displaced from their ancestral lands. The book is written in English, but includes some Takelma words and phrases, as well as a glossary of linguistic terms.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
