- Title
The Organization of Thought in Lushootseed (Puget Salish) Literature: Martha Lamont's "Mink and Changer.".
- Authors
T. C. S., Langen
- Abstract
The article determines the artistic and performance function of poetic and stylistic features in a particular Lushootseed story, especially the techniques of laconism and repetition, in view of the way these features affect changing audiences inside and outside the ethnic culture. The author's structural approach reflects study by classical and biblical scholars on the orature of other primary oral cultures. It discusses parallelism and repetition. It examines the kinds of repetitiousness one encounters in classical Lushootseed narrative.
