The Linguistic Cartography Of The Chaco Region (1898)

The Linguistic Cartography of the Chaco Region, written by Daniel Garrison Brinton and originally published in 1898, is a scholarly work that examines the languages spoken by the indigenous peoples of the Chaco region of South America. Brinton, a renowned American linguist and ethnologist, conducted extensive fieldwork in the region and documented the languages and dialects spoken by various tribes, including the Lule, Mocovi, and Abipon. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which provides a detailed overview of the Chaco region and its inhabitants, while the second part presents a linguistic analysis of the various languages spoken in the area. Brinton's work is considered a pioneering effort in the field of linguistic cartography, as he was one of the first scholars to use maps to illustrate the distribution of languages in a particular region. The Linguistic Cartography of the Chaco Region remains an important reference work for linguists, anthropologists, and historians interested in the indigenous peoples of South America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
