Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

"Hockett has achieved his purpose--to reveal Bloomfield's way of
working, the general principles that guided his work, and last, but
by no means least, to indicate how Bloomfield's interests and
attitudes changed with the passing years."--Harry Hoijer,
"Language"

In this study of Eastern Ojibwa, the late Leonard Bloomfield, first
and greatest of structural linguists, presents his only extended
treatment of the Central Algonquin syntax. A dialect of the Central
Algonquin tongue, Ojibwa is spoken by the American Indians in the
area of Lakes Superior, Huron, and Michigan; in Minnesota,
Wisconsin, and Michigan, and in Ontario, Manitoba, and
Saskatchewan. The texts, transcribed as dictated by an informant
and phonetically rendered by Bernard Bloch, include an Indian's
childhood memories: Grandmother, The White Man, Falling in the
Water, Spring Thunderstorm; as well as Indian Folklore: The
Sweating Cure, Fasting, Burial Rites, Love Medicine. Working with
this unique collection of texts, which includes in several
instances two or three versions of the same story, Bloomfield
solves the two great phonetic difficulties of Ojibwa: distinction
of lenis and fortis consonants, and the distinction of long and
short vowels.
