Abstract
Abstract:I examine language samples recorded by the Scottish explorer Alexander Mackenzie, who established contact with local people in the Shuswap–Carrier–Bella Coola macroregion in 1793. The first short word list he presents affords proof of drag chain sound shifts in Carrier and lexical changes in a northwestern Shuswap dialect, and the second one illustrates the shift of *...an# to ...a# in Bella Coola. Together with Mackenzie’s data, Daniel Harmon’s 1820 Carrier word list provides a time line for completion of certain sound shifts in Carrier. Additionally, the Shuswap dialect observed by Mackenzie clearly differed from current Shuswap dialects on the lexical level.
期刊介绍：
Anthropological Linguistics, a quarterly journal founded in 1959, provides a forum for the full range of scholarly study of the languages and cultures of the peoples of the world, especially the native peoples of the Americas. Embracing the field of language and culture broadly defined, the editors welcome articles and research reports addressing cultural, historical, and philological aspects of linguistic study, including analyses of texts and discourse; studies of semantic systems and cultural classifications; onomastic studies; ethnohistorical papers that draw significantly on linguistic data; studies of linguistic prehistory and genetic classification.
