paper covers, xix, 268 pages ; 24 cm., Translation of: Lecons grammaticales theeoriques et pratiques de la langue micmaque. Text in English and Micmac. The purpose of updating the orthography is of course to give the reader who does not know the language exact information on the pronunciation of each Mi'kmaw word. This was not an important goal for Pacifique, since he recommends that the pronunciation should be obtained from a native speaker. Now that the language has been lost on many reserves, so that native speakers are not as available as they were, it has become crucially important to use the new, exact, orthography, so that the written word can be used to convey as much information as possible on the accepted pronunciations."-- Provided by publisher
