Excerpt from Grammar of the Language of the Lenni Lenape or Delaware Indians The next performance that appeared on a comprehensive scale on the subject of languages was, the mithridates, the glory of our science. I have spoken of it at large in my Report to the Historical Committee, made in the year 1819, on the progress then made in the investigation com mitted to me respecting the character and grammatical forms of the languages of the American Indians-ii. Excellent as the Mithridates was at the time when it was published, such is the progress which the philological science has made since that period.

Wilhelm von Humboldt and Early American Linguistics
Author: Emanuel J. Drechsel
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108833047
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767-1835), an early pioneer in the philosophy of language, linguistic and educational theory, was not only one of the first European linguists to identify human language as a rule-governed system -the foundational premise of Noam Chomsky's generative theory - or to reflect on cognition in studying language; he was also a major scholar of Indigenous American languages. However, with his famous naturalist brother Alexander 'stealing the show,' Humboldt's contributions to linguistics and anthropology have remained understudied in English until today. Drechsel's unique book addresses this gap by uncovering and examining Humboldt's influences on diverse issues in nineteenth-century American linguistics, from Peter S. Duponceau to the early Boasians, including Edward Sapir. This study shows how Humboldt's ideas have shaped the field in multiple ways. Shining a light on one of the early innovators of linguistics, it is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the field.

Pages : 194
Book Description
An adventurous story of a frontier boy raised by Indians, The Light in the Forest is a beloved American classic. When John Cameron Butler was a child, he was captured in a raid on the Pennsylvania frontier and adopted by the great warrrior Cuyloga. Renamed True Son, he came to think of himself as fully Indian. But eleven years later his tribe, the Lenni Lenape, has signed a treaty with the white men and agreed to return their captives, including fifteen-year-old True Son. Now he must go back to the family he has forgotten, whose language is no longer his, and whose ways of dress and behavior are as strange to him as the ways of the forest are to them.
