John Asher Dunn's Books

Continuing the work of early researchers like Franz Boas and Amelia Susman, this volume offers readers an indexed Coast Tsimshian dictionary where each lexical entry includes a practical transcription, morphological description, English glosses, and phonetic transcriptions illustrating local variations.

A general introduction to the phonology, morphology, and syntax of contemporary Coast Tsimshian. The grammar provided helps explain the practical orthography used, pronunciation and sound changes, word formation, and syntax.

One of four North Wakashan languages, Heiltsuk is spoken in the villages of Bella Bella and Klemtu on the British Columbia coast. This two-volume wet offers a grammatical introduction to Heiltsuk which relates the orthography to the phonetics and phonemics, outlines the morphology and syntax, and contains an approximately 9,500 entry dictionary which, in selected instances, indicates grammatical derivatives and/or examples of use as well as English glosses.

This book contains a listing of approximately 2,650 roots from the various North Waskashan lanugages, namely Heiltsuk (Bella Bella and Klemtu), Oowekyala (Rivers Inlet), Haisla (Kitimat) and Kwakwala (Alert Bay, Port Hardy, etc.). Each root is illustrated with lexical words from the language where it is represented, cognate words being brought together under a single entry and cross-referenced to each other as they occur at different points in the alphabetical order. The root list is preceded by concise phonologies of each language and an exposition of the techniques used to isolate roots in North Wakashan.

A single-volume source in which to find most of the many, many proper names used by crossword puzzle solvers.
