Description

Thousands of people in Alberta and Montana speak Blackfoot, an Algonquian language.

But the numbers are diminishing and the survival of Blackfoot is in some danger.

To help preserve the language while it is still in daily use, Donald G.

Frantz and Norma Jean Russell collaborated on the Blackfoot Dictionary, published in 1989 to widespread acclaim and later revised in 1995.

Blackfoot Grammar, the companion volume to the dictionary, has now also been updated with a second edition.

The changes made to each chapter reflect new approaches refined through years of teaching experience.

New chapters on 'Numbers and Enumeration' and 'Translating from English to Blackfoot' have been added, as well as new exercises and two new appendixes describing the phonetics of Blackfoot and the design of the alphabet. This second edition of Blackfoot Grammar will be a welcome update not only for those who wish to learn the language, but for all those with an interest in Native Studies and North American linguistics.
