Review of Making Wawa: The genesis of Chinook Jargon, by George Lang
|
|
|
|
Abstract:
This work is under copyright: the publisher should be contacted for permission to re-use or reprint this material in any form. ; The title of this book only modestly suggests its contents because it covers almost the whole life of this interesting language, from its beginnings at the end of the 18th century to the present. And this is not to suggest that the language is dead or obsolescent, for it has been adopted by the Confederate Tribes of Grande Ronde, Oregon, as a heritage language, renamed Wawa (here referred to as Chinook, one of its contemporary names). Indeed, as the book’s author suggests, it may be the linguistic emblem of a developing sense of indigenous Cascadian culture on both sides of the U.S./Canadian border.
