Klappentext

This dictionary aims to compile a comprehensive vocabulary of the Itelmen language based on all known sources. The present version of the dictionary starts from the work of the late Russian linguist Prof. A. P. Volodin (1935-2017), edited and supplemented by Chikako Ono. The dictionary is based on Volodin's file card collection, consisting of 12, 281 cards that contain 4, 400 different headwords, and the file card collection of the ethnographer N. K. Starkova, consisting of 11, 618 cards with Russian-Itelmen and Itelmen-Russian translations. Volodin's index cards also include about 1, 600 words collected by the Soviet ethnographer E. P. Orlova. In addition, the dictionary includes linguistic materials collected by anthropologists, linguists and other scholars. First of all, these are the data collected over the past three decades by J. Bobaljik, E. Kasten, C. Ono, and others, as well as the earliest word lists and notes, collected in the eighteenth ad nineteenth centuries by S. P. Krasheninnikov, G. W. Steller, D. Dybovsky, and V. N. Tyushov. Where possible, lexical information from pedagogical materials was also included, especially from Volodin and Khaloimova 2001 and Khaloimoiva et al. 2012.
