María Alejandra Regúnaga y Matthias Pache: Un vocabulario del haush, lengua extinta de Tierra del Fuego. Comentarios y transcripción del manuscrito inédito de Martin Gusinde (1919)

Abstract

This work discloses a fifty-page manuscript containing a vocabulary of the extinct Haush language, documented by Martin Gusinde during his first trip to Tierra del Fuego (1918–1919). The article presents a first analysis of the document, in which contextual data and collection circumstances of the vocabulary are provided through the crossing of information with Gusinde’s diary and other publications. We then proceed to specify details about the macro and microstructure of this lexicographical work; finally, we discuss the transcription conventions of the vocabulary.
