Sign Language Among North American Indians

Garrick Mallery

Sinopse

In "Sign Language Among North American Indians," Garrick Mallery meticulously explores the intricate system of sign language used by various Indigenous tribes across North America. Through a comprehensive analysis, Mallery delves into the diverse linguistic elements of these visual-gestural languages, highlighting their cultural significance and social function. Drawing from an array of ethnographic accounts and linguistic research, the book enriches the understanding of Native American communication, presenting a unique perspective on the interplay between language and culture. Mallery's scholarly approach is complemented by detailed illustrations and observational studies, situating the work within the broader context of anthropological and linguistic discourse of the late 19th century. Garrick Mallery, a prominent figure in the fields of anthropology and linguistics, was driven by a profound interest in Indigenous cultures during a period marked by significant research into Native American languages. His deep engagement with the Native populations and persistent inquiries into their methods of communication inform this seminal work, making it both a product of its time and a pioneering exploration of sign language. Mallery's contributions extend beyond this book, as he sought to elevate understanding and appreciation of Indigenous knowledge systems through his research. I highly recommend "Sign Language Among North American Indians" to scholars, linguists, and anyone interested in the rich tapestry of Native American cultures. Mallery's groundbreaking research not only sheds light on the complexities of Indigenous sign language but also serves as an essential resource for understanding the broader implications of communication within these societies. This book is invaluable for those seeking to appreciate the cultural dimensions of language and the profound ways in which it shapes human interaction.

In this course you will find you will find a total of 1,400 words and practice sentences.The individual lessons are organized by by topic and each contains a different number of words and sentences. The language level B2 is an intermediate level, so that most of the course is devoted to topics such as work, characteristics and activities, while while the topics like travel, leisure and family are covered to a lesser extent, as they have been covered more extensively in the previous parts of the course. In the last two lessons you will also find a large overview of the irregular verbs. What is the best way to work with the course? Choose the lesson you want to start with. Each lesson contains six tracks. First, familiarize yourself with the actual vocabulary (tracks 1 and 2).
