This extraordinary volume represents more than ten years of research on Louisiana Creole (LC) by a group of outstanding scholars from Indiana University, l'Université Antilles-Guyane, Tulane University, and Southeastern Louisiana University. Both historical and contemporary sources are used for indexing, alphabetically and trilingually (English, French, and LC), the spoken form of the LC lexical items. The resulting collection of material is astonishing in its scope of knowledge, and comprehensive in its depth of detail. With more than 5,000 entries, this excellent work provides access through vocabulary to the history and culture of LC communities.
