Sm'algyax: A Reference Dictionary and Grammar of the Coast Tsimshian Language

This 1995 publication, with a new preface and revisions by John Dunn, brings these two classic works back into print in a single volume. part I— “A Practical Dictionary of the Coast Tsimshian Language”—includes for each word a transcription, morphological information, English glosses, and phonetic transcriptions showing local variants of the entry. Part II— “A Reverence Grammar for the Coast Tsimshian Language”— is a nontechnical introduction to phonology, morphology, and syntax. It includes summaries showing the basic sentence types and their grammatical relationships. The new one-volume format of the dictionary and grammar will facilitate their use by teachers, students, and the Tsimshian community for years to come.
