About this title

Synopsis

The Caddos once inhabited a vast area that is now included in eastern Texas and parts of Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Their descendants have lived in southwestern Oklahoma since the middle of the 19th century. Their language is distantly related to Pawnee, Arikara, Wichita, and Kitsai within the Caddoan language family. Its polysynthetic verb morphology was described in an earlier work by Lynette Melnar. Chafe's work expands on that description, adding nouns and adjectives, a collection of representative texts and an English-Caddo dictionary.

About the Author

Wallace Chafe is Professor Emeritus of Linguistics at the University of California at Santa Barbara. His work with Native American languages has focused especially on the Seneca language of New York State and on the Caddo language that is described in this book.
