Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Date approximate (undated). From the Foreword: George Albert Seaman has made another most valuable contribution to Virgin Islands cultural history. He has collected folk proverbs to which he has added his inimitably sensitive interpretations. These so-called "native" proverbs are significant, not only for their usage and meanings or applications, but, in this period of eager searchings for identity and heritage, they convey something about linguistics of a people that is as important and unmistakable as are fingerprints to the individual. This collection takes one into the fascinating world of dialects, patois, Creoles and their phonetics with variable orthography. In 1967 Mr. Seaman published his first treasury entitled The Virgin Islands Dictionary. It was his version of characterise tic words and phrases as they are used in St. Croix. The edition was completely sold out and an enlarged revision was issued in 1968. The Caribbean is a rich and practically an unexplored field for such investigations; indeed, not only in the field of linguistics, but it is prolific also in the many facets of archaeology, anthropology, sociology, natural sciences, and in much, much more. What George Seaman has contributed is a surfeit from this wealth and his own unique version of interpreting these axioms. It is also characteristic that each island's usage varies from the others within the area even as there is variety within the language groups; that is to say, that there is regional difference of expression within each language, in each national group. Few Crucians would be as qualified as Seaman to publish this treasury of native lore for he is a native who has the facility of easy social mobility among all levels of the island life. 64 pages.…
