Abstract:

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.
