dc.description.abstractA dictionary format is used to present a body of lexical material collected primarily from one of the few remaining speakers of the Songish dialect of Straits Salish. Preliminary outlines of the phonological system and the morphology are provided and the validity of the linguistic sample is assessed. The dictionary incorporates some ethnographic details of Straits Salish culture. These were provided by the informant and drawn from relevant ethnological accounts. Grammatical categories, derivational forms, and examples of usage are included with many of the entries.en_US
