Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Collected Works of Edward Sapir VII: Wishram d104s and Ethnography
Volumes I-VI of The Collected Works of Edward Sapir consist, for the most part, of shorter papers; by contrast, Volumes VII-XV are devoted to longer works of monographic nature - grammars, dictionaries, text collections, and extended ethnographic accounts. Many of these were published by Sapir during his lifetime; others were edited by his students and published after his death; still others are only now being edited and published for the first time. The organization of each individual volume in this latter group brings together, in most instances, works on a single language and culture; in a few volumes, how ever, the unifying element is one of linguistic family or of culture area.
Preparation of these monographic volumes has been aided by grants from the National Science Foundation (grant no. Ens the Phillips Fund of the American Philosophical Society, and the wenner-gren Foundation for Anthropological Research.
