The Names of the Wyandot
In this unique book, John Steckley discusses and catalogues the various names of the Indigenous people known as the Wyandot, including clan names, nicknames, differences in naming conventions by gender, and the names the Wyandot gave to the European settlers they encountered.Following first contact with Europeans in the early 17th century, the Wyandot were forced to move several times, first from their homeland in what is now Ontario, then from temporary communities around the upper Great Lakes. In the early 18th century, they moved to the Detroit area, where the Anderdon band still lives. Later that century some moved to Ohio where in Upper Sandusky and elsewhere they established a new homeland, only to be driven out in 1843 by settler expansion. They went first to Kansas, where a community still exists, and then to Oklahoma, where their only federally recognized tribe lives today as the Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma.Over the centuries the Wyandot developed rich and evocative naming traditions and conventions. The author draws on nearly five decades of work studying the Wyandot and Wendat languages, and on his tenure as the tribal linguist for the Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma, to provide a comprehensive guide to Wyandot naming practices. In addition to explaining basic naming conventions, Steckley discusses efforts to document Wyandot names, the evolution of those names over time, and the origins and nature of nicknames and clan names. The book closes with a comprehensive chapter setting out dozens of translations of Wyandot names.

A Sourcebook for Ancient Greek
This book was designed for students transitioning from the study of Greek grammar to translation of texts. It was developed in classroom use for classroom use, in the context of an integrated Great Books program in liberal arts and sciences. It is meant for students not only of Classics, but more, for students of Humanities interested in direct engagement of primary sources. Each Greek text offered for translation was chosen for its theoretical interest as well as the interest of its Greek. The selections of Greek literature offered in this Sourcebook are wide-ranging. The indisputable standard of excellence for classicists is of course the Attic dialect of Athens in its glory. However, this Sourcebook is meant for students of liberal arts and sciences whose interests range far more widely. Thus, it does not hesitate to extend not only backward to the archaic Greek of Homer, but also forward to the koine Greek of the Alexandrian and Roman empires. Greek works were chosen for being seminal to Western thinking today, chosen to give students of Western arts and sciences introductions to its Greek sources Naturally, Greek grammar is taught to the newcomer analytically and sequentially, but the continuing student needs to synthesize these distended enumerations of elements and principles. Accordingly, grammatical synopses are not appended as reference tables but placed front and center as objects of study. The grammar tables offer synoptic views of integral parts of Greek grammar to show the form and logic of the whole part of speech or part of a sentence. On the basis of these tables, detailed grammatical notes and commentary appended to Greek selections that follow are tailored for continuing students.
Consonant-Induced Sound Changes in Stressed Vowels in Romance
The book investigates historical patterns of vowel diphthongization, assimilation and dissimilation induced by consonants - mostly (alveolo)palatals - in Romance. Compiling data from dialectal descriptions, old documentary sources and experimental phonetic studies, it explains why certain vowels undergo raising assimilation before (alveolo)palatal consonants more than others. It also suggests that in French, Francoproven癟al, Occitan, Rhaetoromance and dialects from northern Italy, mid low vowel diphthongization before (alveolo)palatal consonants started out with the formation of non-canonical falling diphthongs through off-glide insertion, from which rising diphthongs could emerge at a later date (e.g., Upper Engadinian OCTO 'eight' > [ɔc] > [ɔ(ə̯)c] > [wac]). Both diphthongal types, rather than canonical falling diphthongs with a palatal off-glide, could also give rise to high vowels (dialectal French [li]
Teach Yourself the Mann Language
A language can be affected negatively by war, genocide, politics, famine, and other social factors if steps are not taken to eschew them. Not much has been cataloged insofar as the writing of the Mann language is concerned. The development of its scripts by the Inland Mission for the spreading of the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been a major step in teaching and writing the Mann language in Liberia. Since the development of its scripts, not much energy has been exerted by ordinary speakers of the language to take advantage of this unadulterated opportunity. Thus, this book, TEACH YOURSELF THE MANN LANGUAGE serves as an eye-opener to encouraging anyone, including the speakers of the language as well as non-speakers, who are interested in learning the Mann Language. Its scope considers the culture and tradition, its lineage, its sisterly relationship with the Kpelleh language, and some specific features of the Republic of Liberia. It is expected to accelerate the teaching of the language even beyond the Sunday school setting. Readers will experience the fascinating conglomeration of lessons on tradition, culture, sports, faith, and mundane way of life. TEACH YOURSELF THE MANN LANGUAGE is written in a Teach-Yourself format. It is highly interactive. One of the strong points of this book is brain-work: a reader studies a lesson and tests himself at their own pace. It is a book meant for even beginners, including basic grammatical rules and orthography identifiable with the Mann Language to make learning easier for users.
Ridout’s Vocabulary of Shawnee

This vocabulary was first printed as an appendix to Ridout's letters in 1890, and is one of the earliest major vocabularies of the Shawnee language.

Politeness in Ancient Greek and Latin
Politeness serves to manage social relations or is wielded as an instrument of power. Through good manners, people demonstrate their educational background and social rank. This is the first book to bring together the most recent scholarship on politeness and impoliteness in Ancient Greek and Latin, signalling both its universal and its culture-specific traits. Leading scholars analyse texts by canonical classical authors (including Plato, Cicero, Euripides, and Plautus), as well as non-literary sources, to provide glimpses into the courtesy and rudeness of Greek and Latin speakers. A wide range of interdisciplinary approaches is adopted, namely pragmatics, conversation analysis, and computational linguistics. With its extensive introduction, the volume introduces readers to one of the most dynamic fields of Linguistics, while demonstrating that it can serve as an innovative tool in philological readings of classical texts.
