Amy Dahlstrom, University of Chicago<br>
Monica Macaulay, University of Wisconsin, Madison
</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">The Algonquianist terms </span><span style="font-size:9.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">INITIAL, MEDIAL, </span><span style="font-size:12.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">and </span><span style="font-size:9.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">FINAL </span><span style="font-size:12.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">are commonly used in traditional
descriptions of the languages of the family for the internal components of the verb stem.
However, if one wants to analyze Algonquian morphology in more theoretical terms, it is
sometimes difficult to identify the morphological status of stem-internal components.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">To be sure, in many cases the initial, medial and final are comprised of exactly one
morpheme each (e.g. Meskwaki </span><span style="font-size:12.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPS';font-style:italic">ki·škinehke·šw- </span><span style="font-size:12.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">‘cut off (object’s) hand’, with initial
</span><span style="font-size:12.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPS';font-style:italic">ki·šk- </span><span style="font-size:12.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">‘sever’, medial -inehke·- ‘hand’, and TA final -ešw ‘by cutting’): such examples
are not problematic. The more challenging cases are those stems which exhibit what are
traditionally analyzed as </span><span style="font-size:9.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">DERIVED INITIALS, DERIVED MEDIALS, </span><span style="font-size:12.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">or </span><span style="font-size:9.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">DERIVED FINALS
</span><span style="font-size:12.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">(Bloomfield 1962, Goddard 1990). That is, an entire verb stem may appear as an initial
(e.g. Meskwaki </span><span style="font-size:12.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPS';font-style:italic">anehka·we·we·nem- </span><span style="font-size:12.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">‘think (object) is acquainted with (second object)’,
with (simple, non-derived) TA final -e·nem- ‘think of (object)’ in construction with an
initial derived from the verb stem </span><span style="font-size:12.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPS';font-style:italic">anehka·w- </span><span style="font-size:12.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">‘be acquainted with’.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12.000000pt;font-family:'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">In the presentation the roundtable organizers will present brief statements,
including a statement of the issues and examples of the data we find challenging to
translate into mainstream theoretical analyses, and invite the audience to engage in an
exchange of views regarding the status of these Algonquianist concepts.
