Bøker av William A. Read

William A Read (1869-1962) was a renowned linguist whose career included 38 years as a professor of English at Louisiana State University. This volume includes his three Louisiana articles combined: ""Louisiana Place-Names of Indian Origin"" (1927), ""More Indian Place-Names in Louisiana"" (1928), and ""Indian Words"" (1931).

A companion ? Indian Place Names in Alabama?, this long out-of-print guide offers a new introduction from Patricia Wickman in which she provides current understandings of Seminole language and derivations and a brief analysis of Read's contribution to the preservation of the Native linguistic record.
