Rövid leírás:
The Indigenous Languages of the Americas is a comprehensive assessment of what is known about their history and classification. It identifies gaps in knowledge and resolves controversial issues while making new contributions of its own. The book deals with the major themes involving these languages: classification and history of the Indigenous languages of the Americas; issues involving language names; origins of the languages of the New World; unclassified and spurious languages; hypotheses of distant linguistic relationships; linguistic areas; contact languages (pidgins, lingua francas, mixed languages); and loanwords and neologisms.
Hosszú leírás:
The Indigenous Languages of the Americas takes stock of what is known about the history and classification of these languages and language families. It identifies the gaps in knowledge and puts them into perspective, and it assesses differences of opinion. It also resolves some issues and makes new contributions of its own.
The nine chapters of the book deal incisively with the major themes involving these languages: the classification and history of the Indigenous languages of North American, Middle American (Mexico and Central America), and South American; difficulties involving names of the languages; origins of the languages of the New World; unclassified, phantom, fake, and spurious languages in the Americas; recent hypotheses of remote linguistic relationships; the linguistic areas of the Americas; contact languages, including pidgins, lingua francas, and mixed languages; and loanwords and other new words in the native languages of the Americas.
Campbell's book is a comprehensive guide to the Indigenous languages of North, Central, and South America and should be of use to any interested reader. It particularly covers the history and current state of the classification of these languages into families, subfamilies, and superfamilies, with updated evaluations of various traditional and recent methods for doing this and of claims of distant relationships. Linguistic areas and the diffusion of words and features between and among related and unrelated languages are also treated, as are contact languages. Particular attention is paid to ambiguous and confusing language and language-group names that appear in the literature.
