Kathlamet Texts

"The Shaping of American Anthropology is a book which is outstanding in many respects. Stocking is probably the leading authority on Franz Boas; he understands Boas's contributions to American anthropology, as well as anthropology in general, very well. . . . He is, in a word, the foremost historian of anthropology in the world today. . . . The reader is both a collection of Boas's papers and a solid 23-page introduction to giving the background and basic assumptions of Boasian anthropology."—David Schneider, University of Chicago "While Stocking has not attempted to present a person biography, nevertheless Boas's personal characteristics emerge not only in his scholarly essays, but perhaps more vividly in his personal correspondence. . . . Stocking is to be commended for collecting this material together in a most interesting and enjoyable reader."—Gustav Thaiss, American Anthropologist

Synoptic pericopae is a reliable indicator of literary borrowing by the Synoptic Evangelists. In Oral Tradition and Synoptic Verbal Agreement, T.M. Derico presents a critical assessment of that claim through a consideration of the most recent empirical evidence concerning the kinds and amounts of verbal agreement that can be produced among independent performances of oral traditions.

Excerpt from Kathlamet d104s The following texts were collected in the summers of 1890 and 1891 and in December, 1891. So far as I have been able to ascertain, the Kathlamet dialect is spoken by three persons only - Charles Cultee and Samson, both living at Bay Center, Washington, and Mrs Wilson, who lives at Nemah, on Shoalwater bay. Unfortunately neither Samson nor Mrs Wilson were able to give me any connected texts, so that Charles Cultee was my only informant. This is unfortunate, as he told me also Chinook texts, and is, therefore, the only source for two dialects of the Chinookan stock. In order to ascertain the accuracy of his mode of telling, I had two stories which he had told in the summer of 1891 repeated three and a half years later, in December, 1894. These stories will be found on page 54 and page 182 of the following texts. The show great similarity and corroborate the opinion which I formed from internal evidence that the language of the texts is fairly good and represents the dialect in a comparatively pure state. Cultee lived for a considerable number of 3 rears at Cathlamet, on the south side of Columbia river, a few miles above Astoria, where he acquired this dialect. His mother's mother was a Kathlamet, his mother's father a Xuila'paX; his father's mother was a Klatsop, and his fathers father a TkulXiyogoa'ike, which is the Chinook name of the Tinneh tribe on upper Willapa river. His wife is a Chehalis, and at present he speaks Chehalis almost exclusively, this being also the language of his children. Cultee (or more properly Q-Elte')has proved a veritable storehouse of information. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
