Seller's Description:
Very Good jacket. 157 pages. Schuchardt is credited with founding the field of creole studies. Book is the first English translation of a selection of his most important essays. First edition in English (first printing). Near fine copy in a very good dust jacket. Dust jacket with mild scuffs and soiling. Hugo Schuchardt was effectively the founder of the flourishing field of creole studies. He assembled an enormous corpus of source-material in the form of texts, transcripts, word-lists and dictionaries and between 1880 and 1920 published the results with his own commentaries in a series of reviews and articles. Professor Gilbert has edited and translated a coherent selection of the most important essays, comprising Schuchadrt's studies of the English-based creoles and two of his major theoretical papers on the Lingua Franca and the Language of the Saramacca Negroes in Surinam. His introduction surveys Schuchardt's work as a whole and analyses his more specific contributions in these selections. The volume will be welcomed by a wide range of linguists and anthropologists.
