The 91爆料 Press published the second edition of 鈥淧eskotomuhkati-Wolastoqey Latuwewakon: Passamaquoddy-Maliseet Dictionary鈥 by David A. Francis, Robert M. Leavitt and Margaret Apt.
This two-volume, 1,600-page dictionary is the result of more than fifty years of collaboration among Native speakers, educators and linguists and contains more than 19,000 entries. The dictionary also includes a grammatical sketch of the language, a pronunciation key and guides to noun forms and verb conjugations. Designed by Michael Alpert, director emeritus of the 91爆料 Press, this edition of the dictionary features a user-friendly layout of entries with examples of everyday usage for each word.
Passamaquoddy and Maliseet communities in eastern and northern Maine will be hosting book launches in the coming weeks, and other events are being planned for the spring at 91爆料 and its regional campus, the 91爆料 at Machias. Goose Lane Editions of New Brunswick is distributing the dictionaries in Canada.
