Towards a Salish Etymological Dictionary V
Academic Work
From the outset the guiding idea in establishing cognate sets and reconstructing PS forms has been a primary division between Coast and Interior Salish, Bella Coola being regarded as belonging to CS (see sect. 2 below). In the beginning, a parallel effort was necessarily directed towards establishing the PS phoneme system; the results were published in IJAL 47:323-35 (1981). As more dictionaries appeared it became evident that Lillooet and to a lesser extent Thompson (both bordering on CS) contain many loans from CS; these cases were removed from the PS file (see sect. 3). The study of intra-Salish borrowing was considerably advanced by Kinkade (1990, 1995). Yet the distribution of phonological features and lexical items over the Salish area still leaves many problems; these were briefly indicated in Towards IV sect. III.
