This comprehensive illustrated handbook, a major synthesis of more than 150 years of documentation and study, reviews what we now know about California's indigenous languages. Victor Golla outlines the basic structural features of more than two dozen language types, and cites all the major sources, both published and unpublished, for the documentation of these languages-from the earliest vocabularies collected by explorers and missionaries, to the data amassed during the twentieth-century by Alfred Kroeber and his colleagues, and to the extraordinary work of John P. Harrington and C. Hart Merriam. Golla also devotes chapters to the role of language in reconstructing prehistory, and to the intertwining of the language and culture in pre-contact California societies, making this work, the first of its kind, an essential reference on California's remarkable Indian languages. 606 $aIndians of North America$zCalifornia$xLanguages 606 $aLinguistics 610 $aalgic. 610 $aamerican languages. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $aathabaskan. 610 $abaja california. 610 $acalifornia. 610 $achumash. 610 $afranciscans. 610 $agrammars. 610 $ahokan. 610 $aindian languages. 610 $aindigenous culture. 610 $aindigenous language. 610 $aindigenous languages. 610 $aindigenous people. 610 $ajesuit missionaries. 610 $alanguage. 610 $alanguages. 610 $alexical borrowing. 610 $alinguistic diversity. 610 $alinguistics. 610 $amonqui. 610 $anative american. 610 $anative speakers. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apacific coast. 610 $apenutian. 610 $apericu. 610 $apitch. 610 $apostcolonial. 610 $aprehistory. 610 $atone. 610 $auto aztecan. 610 $avillages. 610 $awaikuri. 610 $awintuan. 610 $ayukian. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xLanguages. 615 0$aLinguistics. 676 $a497.09794 700 $aGolla$b Victor$0169366 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822290103321 996 $aCalifornia Indian languages$91865986 997 $aUNINA
