Download or read book The Dakota Language Classic Reprint written by Stephen Return Riggs and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dakota Language Accent in Dakota is quite important. The meaning of many words depends upon it as, for instance, ma-ga, a field, and ma-ga, a goose. The principle of accenting seems to be determined from the beginning of the word, not from the' end. In the case of two thirds, or perhaps three fourths, of all the words in the language, the accent is on the second syllable from the beginning. The greater part of the remainder are accented on the first syllable there are a few cases of polysyllables accented on the penultimate. In words of four or more syllables, a secondary accent follows on the second syllable after the primary. Hence it is not unfavorable to the composition of poetry; but, as almost all words end in a vowel or nasal n. Rhyme can have very little variety. The language is sometimes figurative from necessity and sometimes from choice. In the latter case, their figures are often far fetched. When they ask for an ox in soldier language, they call him a dog and when a chief begs for a horse, he often does it under the figure of moccasins. Their war songs and others seem to have but little of either the Spirit or form of true poetry. A few words make a long song and, in general, their meaning is just the opposite of that naturally conveyed by the words. For example: nam ing a young man who has acted very bravely, killed an en emy and taken his Scalp, they say, you are a fool; you let the Chippewas strike you. And this is understood to be the highest form of eulogy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Language of the Dakota or Sioux Indians Previously to his going to that out-of-the-way region he had happened to make himself in some measure acquainted with the languages of several of the Indian tribes, particularly with the Chippewa tongue and he then at once directed his attention to the language of those Indians in whose immediate neighborhood he was going to reside for a while, namely, the Sioux Nation, or Dakotas. It would take a whole volume to record his varied experience with those interesting tribes and the result of his ethnological and linguistic researches during the time he lived among them. On this occasion, however, he will content himself with presenting to the reader only a very few faint and cursory glimpses of merely such matters as may arise in his recollection, and as pertain to the language of these people. It is hoped that his elucidation of desultory topics of this nature will not prove altogether uninteresting to the ethnologist or philological inquirer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The State of Dakota: How It May Be Reformed It was only recently that I came into possession of a pamphlet from the pen of Hon. Hugh J.Campbell, U.S. Attorney for Dakota Territory, treating upon the above subject; and it is proper to say that I have perused it with deep interest. All such contributions at the present time must necessarily prove of great value to the people in their endeavors properly to reach the end sought. The discussion should present all attainable facts, opinions and decisions, and should be conducted in no party or factional spirit. It should be free from all acrimony, and should be solely directed toward calm, candid and impartial investigation. In this spirit I proceed to present the following compilations and observations: The pamphlet has an Introductory, which, although written by another, must be conceded to be at least quasi authentic. It states that these articles contain all the known authorities upon the subject, compiled and commented upon at length, etc., etc. I must be excused for saying, in the most respectful manner, that there are some other authorities, and some different opinions, which seem to have escaped the notice of the authiOr. It is best to look at these squarely, although they may not chime in with our desires or aspirations, so that we may have a well guarded prevision of what may be urged against us in the next Congress. For, assuredly, there are many senators and members of Congress who are perfectly familiar with what I am about to quote.
