Esselen Studies: Language, Culture, and Prehistory  
 
David Leedom Shaul
University of Colorado, Boulder & The University of Arizona
 
The Esselen language is an isolate within the Hokan phylum that was spoken in Monterey County (California) by five local tribes who formed a regional trade network. Preferred marriage was within each local tribe, except for chiefly families. There were two dialects, but each local tribe must maintained and negociated tribal identity with distrinctive speech. More extensive treatment is given of Esselen phonology and morphosyntax than any previous work on Esselen.
 
New information includes Esselen music, complete treatment of Esselen dialects (Western, Eastern), and the Hokan character of Esselen. Terrence Kaufman's seminal work on comparative Hokan allows for a better understanding of Esselen structure and linguistic prehistory. About 70% of the traceable Esselen morphemes have Hokan etymologies; the rest were borrowed from Uto-Aztecan, Utian, and Chumashan.

Classes flexionnelles dans la possession (in-)aliénable de trois langues arawak du nord
 
Moisés Velásquez
 
Dans la présente étude je rends compte des classes flexionnelles dans la catégorie de possession (in-)aliénable en wayuunaiki, garifuna et lokono, trois langues de la branche nord des langues arawak. Parmi les objectifs de l’étude se trouvent: rendre compte des stratégies de marquage de possession inaliénable et aliénable dans les constructions possessives attributives, explorer la distribution des catégories sémantiques dans cette dichotomie (in-)aliénable et comparer les classes flexionnelles concernées.
 
L’étude a été élaborée essentiellement avec des données écrites pour le garifuna et le lokono et des données écrites et élicitées en wayuunaiki. L’interaction entre les formes NONPOSS et POSSD de 651 noms a été étudiée. Parmi les résultats de la recherche se trouvent: les liens de parenté et les parties du corps sont très souvent traités de façon inaliénable; les objets divers quotidiens sont traités de façon inaliénable mais pas tout le temps; le wayuunaiki est la langue la plus complexe en termes de flexion et marquage, ensuite se trouve le lokono et après le garifuna; la catégorie aliénable dans la forme possédée et la catégorie inalíénable dans la forme non possédée sont les catégories les plus marquées morphologiquement.

Salinan Language Studies
 
David Shaul
University of Arizona
 
Salinan (coastal central California) is not only abundantly attested in modern recordings after 1900, but also is the only native California language to have been richly documented by the Franciscans in the 1800s. This work contains a summary of the sound pattern, and the most complete morphosyntax description of the language. Data is from both dialects (Antoniano, Migueleño), but is mostly Antoniano. Of particular interest is the revelation of a pitch-accent system (two melodies), accounting for "stress" irregularity. The remarkable variety of plural forms is explained by a process of derivation that depends on the melody inherent in a given root.  Pluractionality in verbs is shown to be rare, especially in data recorded after 1900.  A specifier serves as only productive adposition, and also is used in marking relative clauses and in person possessor marking on nouns. The stative-active resolution of Salinan verbs is explored through occurences of each category in texts. Sample texts, some never published, show the discourse strategy of Salinan. A summary is given of Salinan linguistic prehistory with application of Hokan Common Core. The Salinan and Engish Lexicon is a companion volume.

LSNAL 86: Central Numic (Uto-Aztecan) Comparative Phonology and Vocabulary

Référence: ISBN 9783969391488

Central Numic (Uto-Aztecan) Comparative Phonology and Vocabulary
 
John E. McLaughlin
Utah State University
 
The Central Numic branch of the Numic language family of the Uto-Aztecan stock comprises three closely-related languages—Timbisha, Shoshoni, and Comanche. Timbisha and Comanche are spoken by less than a handful of L1 speakers each in eastern California and southwestern Oklahoma. Shoshoni is spoken by fewer than a dozen L1 speakers scattered across Nevada, Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming. All three languages are still spoken in parts of the regions where they lived at the time of contact. A very rough estimate of the time depth of Proto-Central Numic is about a millennium. Timbisha and Shoshoni have an underlying obstruent system which consists of voiceless stops /p, t, k, kw/, two voiceless fricatives /s, h/, and a voiceless affricate /ts/, but a surface phonetic system that includes voiced and voiceless stops, fricatives, and affricates in all the places of articulation of the underlying stops and affricates. This system of underlying and surface obstruents has been partially restructured in Comanche. John E. McLaughlin, Associate Professor of English at Utah State University, has published on the Central Numic languages since 1980.

La lengua cueva (Panamá, siglo XVI)
 
Miguel Ángel Quesada Pacheco
Universitetet i Bergen
 
La lengua cueva se habló en las secciones central y oriental de la actual República de Panamá hasta el siglo XVI y fue una de las lenguas más importantes durante la temprana conquista de Tierra Firme.
 
Dada su escasa documentación y la rapidez con la que se extinguió, este idioma ha representado un enigma para la ciencia lingüística del continente americano, y son muchas las personas que han querido ver en la lengua cueva características de muchas otras lenguas del área, particularmente con las lenguas de la familia chibcha y caribe. En el presente estudio se descartan dichos parentescos y se corrobora su afiliación filogenética a la familia chocó.
 
Sobre la base de los rubros léxicos legados por los cronistas de la época -palabras comunes, antropónimos, topónimos- se ha podido realizar una reconstrucción de sus estructuras fónica y gramatical. En el presente libro se ofrece dicha descripción, además de una lista del léxico y de nombres propios de la época que sirvieron de corpus. Además, se ofrece un estudio histórico-comparativo y se propone una nueva clasificación filogenética de la familia chocó, tomando en cuenta el nuevo miembro de la familia.

The Nebé Language
 
David Leedom Shaul
 
The Nebé Language is a description of a previously unknown language. Nebé is a member of the the Cochimian languages, which also includes Gabb Cochimi, Jesuit Cochimi, and Robinia. The Cochimian languages were spoken in the middle half of the Baja Caliornia pennsisula. The Cochimian languages are probably related to the Yuman family of languages. The Nebé Language provides data for comparative Cochimian phonology, as well as Nebé morphosyntax which may be compared with the grammar of Jesuit Cochimi. The study of comparative Cochimian and comparative Yuman will yield information on the linguistic prehistory of Baja California. The Nebé data dates from around 1680. In addition to sections on Nebé phonology and grammar, there is a comparative vocabulary of Nebé and the three other Cochimian languages, organized by the English gloss of each cognate. A lexicon of about 480 morphemes also lists about 600 derived words given in transcription with the original spellings following. An English-Nebé index follows.

Grundzüge des Santee-Sisseton Dialekts
 
Berthold Simons
 
Das Dakota ist eine zur Sioux-Familie gehörende lebende indigene Sprache Nordamerikas. Der Schwerpunkt der vorliegenden Grammatik liegt auf dem Santee-Sisseton-Dialekt; in den Beispielen liegt er auf ganzen Sätzen und Textausschnitten. Behandelt werden Phonetik und Phonologie, die Wortarten und die Wortbildungsmittel, die grammatischen Kategorien, der einfache und komplexe Satzbau sowie Besonderheiten der Literatur des Dakota unter funktionalen Aspekten. Das Dakota gilt als Repräsentant des aktivischen Sprachbaus und weist in seiner Grammatik dessen typische Merkmale auf: Die strikte Unterscheidung zwischen aktiven und stativen Verben und eine Dominanz der Verbalstämme. Die Kodierung der syntaktischen Funktionen von Subjekt und Objekt basiert auf der festen Wortstellung Subjekt-Objekt-Verb (SOV). Die Kennzeichnung der semantischen Rollen Agens, Patiens, Rezipient usw. beruht auf der Kontrolle über die Verbalhandlung und wird mit den aktiven vs. stativen Pronominalreihen markiert. Ein Inventar von Lokativ- und Instrumentalpräfixen nuanciert die Verbbedeutung. Klitika am Satzende bestimmen den pragmatischen Status eines Satzes als Frage, Vermutung, Erzählung usw. und kennzeichnen optional die Sprechereinstellung. Mit einem alten, nicht mehr produktiven Bestand an Nominalklassifikatoren sind große Teile des Wortschatzes inhaltlich gegliedert. Temporale, lokale und modale Relationen werden mit einem umfangreichen Inventar von Adverbien, Verben und anderen  sprachlichen Mitteln ausgedrückt. Mit vier ergänzenden Einstiegslektionen können Dakota-Lernende ein Basisinventar zur praktischen Verständigung erwerben.

The Cochimian Languages
 
David Leedom Shaul
 
The Cochimian language family of central Baja California has been linked to the languages of the Yuman family. This contribution surveys the four Cochimian languages  --  Jesuit Cochimí, Gabb Cochimí, Robinia, and Nebé  --  in order to assess the family's phonological and morphological correspondences. The sound patterns of these languages are remarkably similar, with phonological divergence in some Nebé roots. Prefixes and suffixes (both derivational and inflectional) clearly reconstruct for Proto-Coshimian. Cognate rates among the four languages range from 30% to 34%.
 
Almost all Cochimian languages are ergative-absolutive in case marking, except Hervas Cochimí, a dialect of Jesuit Cochimí, which has nominative-accusative case marking like Yuman, and the Hervas case markers cognate with Yuman. Also, Hervas Cochimí has switch-reference, using the same markers as Yuman. Switch-reference is absent in other Cochimian languages for which we have data (non-Hervas Jesuit Cochimí, Nebé). The Nebé language is treated in a companion volume. Texts in the Cochimian languages are reproducted with complete analysis, with a comparative lexicon and index. Lastly, the Monqui language of the southern range of Cochimian is shown to be a varty of Nebé.

Las lenguas del Caribe continental: Estudio sobre arealidad incipiente
 
J. Diego Quesada
 
Este trabajo plantea la posibilidad de identificar una zona geográfica,  el Caribe continental, que se extiende desde la península de Yucatán, México, hasta el delta del Orinoco, Venezuela, como zona de relevancia. Se trata de una franja compuesta en su mayoría de llanuras a lo largo de la costa, generalmente separadas del resto de cada país por una cordillera montañosa, con clima tropical húmedo y lluvioso la mayor parte del año, con historias recientes compartidas y con migraciones constantes a lo interno del área (así como hacia y desde el Caribe insular). Para ello se realizó un inventario de las lenguas del potencial área y mediante la comparación de una serie de fenómenos lingüísticos, se procedió a determinar la existencia de rasgos compartidos. Se utilizaron  fuentes secundarias y se realizó trabajo de campo en Belice, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Colombia y Venezuela, resultando en la identificación de tres zonas principales: Norte -desde la península de Yucatán hasta  el oriente hondureño y  la Mosquitia -,  Central -abarca la costa nicaragüense hasta el istmo del Darién en Panamá -, y Sur - costa Caribe de Colombia y Venezuela -. Las tres zonas se establecieron sobre la base de consideraciones históricas, geográficas y lingüísticas - en especial areales - elementales tales como la proximidad y contacto.

A Grammar of Sikuani
 
Francesc Queixalós
Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris
 
This is a new descriptive grammar of Sikuani, a language of the Guahibo family spoken in the mid Orinoco grasslands of Colombia and the jungle-covered ridges of Venezuela. The book, written in English, condenses down to one third a two-volume 950-page grammar published in French between 1998 and 2000. The analyses sometimes diverge from the previous version given that in the meantime the author's understanding of languages and linguistics has in someway changed - hopefully for better. Ten chapters cover the different topics in morphology, syntax and the discourse manipulation of both for the sake of communicative strategies. A final chapter deals with phonology and morphophonology.
 
Illustrative examples are generously supplied, with non abbreviated glosses as often as possible to ease the reader's processing. Follow a list of grammatical morphemes and glosses, a bibliography, as well as a 10-page traditional text translated and broadly segmented. On typology grounds, the language - polysynthetic to a high degree - is noteworthy for the productivity of its nominalising devices. It also shines a light on how a verb lexicon, along with morphology and clause syntax, can embody complex and refined spatial notions.
