Chehalis

M. Dale Kinkade (Compiler), Upper Chehalis Dictionary. University of Montana Occasional Papers in Linguistics 7, 1991. 378 pp. $20. --- Virtually all the data ever collected on this nearly-extinct Coast Salish language of SW Washington: over 2,500 roots or stems as main entries, with thousands of additional derived and inflected forms. To his own data collected from the last speakers in the 1970s, Kinkade adds all extant older material, most importantly the extensive unpublished notes collected in 1926-27 by Thelma Adamson and Franz Boas. Also included is a comprehensive English-to-Chehalis finder list, as well as appendices listing lexical suffixes, derivational and inflectional affixes (along with paradigms), loan words, and an exhaustive list of place names (with map). --- Order from: UMOPL, Linguistics, Univ. of Montana, Missoula, MT 59812 (e-mail: li_am@selway.umt.edu).
