Publisher : New York : Oxford University Press
Page : 270 pages
File Size : 33,42 MB
Release : 1999
Category : Electronic books
ISBN : 0195121619
Book Description
Lexical acculturation refers to the accommodation of languages to new objects and concepts encountered as the result of culture contact. This unique study analyzes a survey of words for 77 items of European culture (e.g. chicken, horse, apple, rice, scissors, soap, and Saturday) in the vocabularies of 292 Amerindian languages and dialects spoken from the Arctic Circle to Tierra del Fuego. The first book ever to undertake such a large and systematic cross-language investigation, Brown's work provides fresh insights into general processes of lexical change and development, including those involving language universals and diffusion.

Folklore is replete with tales of elves. Little is known about why or how they came into being, but they seem to be a part of the folk myth of every country in the Western Hemisphere. This unique reference work provides comprehensive information on the known little people from 340 ethnic groups within 49 linguistic divisions in the Western Hemisphere, particularly in the United States. The approximately 3,500 entries provide descriptions of each group of elves, alternate names, information on well-known individual elves in the group, their supposed habitat, and magical powers.
