Annotation

This volume demonstrates how the English of American Indian speech communities typically stays distinct, recognizable both as a case of American Indian English and as a case of Navajo, Isletan, Kotzebue or Crow English, varying from standard English and from each other. It furhermore analyzes cases of miscommunication, brought about by this diversity.
