English-Eskimo and Eskimo-English Vocabularies
View through CrossRef
This paper focuses on the English-Eskimo and Eskimo-English Vocabularies, published by the Government Printing Office in Washington, D.C. in 1890, which appeared with the general aim to motivate a wider range of people to learn about the Arctic Eskimos and make communication with them easier, but it was initially designed as a handbook for Alaskan school teachers. Although the publication can be approached from different perspectives, allowing many interpretations, the current author emphasizes the crucial circumstances under which it was produced, simultaneously drawing special attention to the existence of Eskaleut languages.
