- Frederick Roehrig: A forgotten name in Salish linguistics
- by Elena Barreiro
Professor Frederick Louis
Otto Roehrig, a distinguished philologist, linguist, and
polyglot, traveled broadly in North America doing research on
languages from several families. His research in the Pacific Northwest
resulted in vocabulary lists from several Salish languages. Because
the collected data often represent several dialects of the same
language, they allow us to see some details about a language at the
time of early contact. For example, Roehrig’s lists are useful for the
study of variation and change within the Central Salish language,
Halkomelem.
Keywords: Roehrig, Salish, Halkomelem
