2009 SACC inquiry

[Prof. Dr. Johannes Helmbrecht]

Hi Catherine,

some years ago, I gave a talk at the University of Erfurt on "Coodination in Hocank" (2004) summarizing 
what I knew at that time on this topic in Hocank. The data for this paper are alomst exclusivly elicited 
material. As a notional and conceptual framework, I used the lengthy and typologically oriented article by 
J.R. Payne in one of the three volumes "Language Typology and syntactic description" edited by Timothy 
Shopen (1985). 

I attach this paper/talk to this mail and hope it might be helpful for your study on coordination in Siouan. This 
paper will be part of a future grammar of Hocank, but I am quite sure that I will have to revise it for several 
reasons. First, there are some recent publications on coordination (Haspelmath (ed.) and Haspelmath 2007 
in the 2nd edition of the Shopen volumes) which I will have to consider. But, more importantly, I haven't 
studies the phenomenon on the basis of all the Hocank texts we have by now available in electronic form.

All the best
Johannes

Thanks to Johannes for the list of Comparative Syntax Fest topics.
It looks exciting!!

I'm listed as presenting on"Coordination (AND,OR,BUT).
And I do intend to write on this topic. 
But I must admit I haven't started yet and lack any knowledge of the topic in most of the Siouan languages.
Or, to put it bluntly - Help! 

Anyone who has any material on coordination in any Siouan language, I'd be very grateful if you would share 
your expertise with me! Anything you have will be helpful. Raw data, papers you've written, reference to 
other sources, notes and suggestions, anything at all. 

I do have a fair amount of material on Omaha-Ponca (but could always use more!) Ialso have various 
published grammars (Graczyk's Crow, Quintero's Osage, etc.) and dissertations (Eschenberg, Boyle, West, 
etc.) and stacks of old conference handouts, but haven't had time to comb throughany of this-- would 
appreciate pointers to things I might miss inwell-known works as well as new facts or analyses. 

Catherine
