Lucy Shepard Freeland (1890–1972) was an American linguist who pioneered the study of Miwok languages. Though she adopted the name Nancy in everyday life, she continued to publish as L. S. Freeland. A student of Alfred Kroeber, she was married to the writer Jaime de Angulo from 1923 to 1943, and the pair collaborated on studies of Native Californians in the 1920s and 1930s.[1] Freeland's Languages of the Sierra Miwok (1951) has been praised as "one of the finest grammars of any California Indian language".[2] The book contains the earliest known use of the term code-switching.[3]
