This is the final phase of a project involving texts, a                         substantial dictionary, and a grammar of Penobscot, an Eastern                  Algonquian language still spoken in Maine.  Preparation of the                  source texts has been completed under a previous grant, a                       preliminary version of the dictionary is already in existence,                  and a substantial part of the grammar has been written.  This                   project will bring the dictionary and grammar to completion.                                                                                                    This work is important to linguists dealing with American Indian                languages, because no such dictionary and grammar exists for an                 Eastern Algonquian language. The project has also been fruitful                 for speakers of Penobscot, who have participated in the                         preparation of these materials.  In addition to the reference                   materials about their language, a side-product of this project                  has been the preparation of a two-volume spelling book for                      Penobscot children.
