Marshallese-English
Language Dictionary. University of
Hawaii Press. 626 pages.
The
Marshallese-English Dictionary contains almost 12,000 entries
giving information on an estimated 30,000 Marshallese words.
Built upon the information collected in earlier dictionaries, its
entries are enriched with grammatical information and illustrative
sentences. Many words not previously recorded have been added,
both older words dealing with the lore of the islands and newer words
that reflect the changing circumstances of life today.
Following the recommendations made by a committee of Marshallese leaders
in 1971, the words in this dictionary are spelled along traditional
lines, but spellings have been regularized phonetically by
computer.
An English Finder List is provided to
enable the user to easily locate terms for navigation, currents,
weather, food preparation, games, and other
important aspects of Marshallese culture. A special
section lists more than 4,000 place names in the Marshall
Islands. Scientific identifications are given for the names of plants,
marine life, animals, and stars and constellations.
Created to fill the need for a
comprehensive dictionary in programs of bilingual education in
the schools of the Marshall Islands, this work will also be of use to
anthropologists and linguists specializing in the Pacific. |
