From CaRudin1 at wsc.edu Mon May 3 15:30:52 2010 From: CaRudin1 at wsc.edu (Catherine Rudin) Date: Mon, 3 May 2010 10:30:52 -0500 Subject: Request for info: Siouan and Caddoan Conference In-Reply-To: <4BD71DAC0200008E00017E77@hermes.wsc.edu> Message-ID: John, or someone -- (1) Can you confirm the exact dates of the conference? Is it actually June 2-5? Any idea how it will be organized (i.e. which days might be comparative syntax, language education/preservation, or other special topics?) (2) IS THERE A BLOCK OF ROOMS RESERVED? I tried calling the Holiday inn in Skokie that was mentioned in the call for papers, but they had never heard of Siouan conference or SACLC or any other likely acronym; had no rooms reserved or any group rate as far as the person I talked to could find, and their regular room rate is $137.95 ... not TOO outrageous for Chicago area, but still, seems well worth trying to get a conference rate. I'm leaving for Europe very soon, will be back just in time for the conference, and would really like to have a plan BEFORE I go. Tried asking about dates last week and got no response.... John, are you there??? :-) Catherine From mary.marino at usask.ca Mon May 3 15:45:26 2010 From: mary.marino at usask.ca (Mary C Marino) Date: Mon, 3 May 2010 09:45:26 -0600 Subject: Request for info: Siouan and Caddoan Conference In-Reply-To: <4BDEA5DC.6215.008E.0@wsc.edu> Message-ID: I need this information too. I especially want to know whether we will have the business meeting on the 5th (Saturday) or on Sunday morning - the 6th. I need to finalize my plane reservations.

The conference is scheduled to run from June 2 (Wednesday) through June 5 (Saturday). I am still unsure as to how it will be organized as I have only received a handful of abstracts/paper titles. So if you have those, please pass them along. I know some of you are trying to juggle several things over this time period. I am planning the conference party for Saturday night so I hope most of you will be able to stick around for that. There is a block of rooms reserved at The Holiday Inn Chicago, North Shore. These rooms are at the special rate of $109.00 (not bad for Chicago). They will also be running a shuttle from the Hotel to Campus and back every day. The rooms should be reserved under the name Siouan and Caddoan Conference, but I just found out they were under the name Northeastern Illinois Linguistics. Hopefully that has been fixed and taken care of. If you have made reservations and didn't get the discount, call back and let them know. The number is: 847-679-8900. As soon as I get a draft of the conference schedule together I will send it out, but I need to hear from you all as to paper topics. Thanks!

Classifying -nacini. - The suffix -na'cini is a classifier, in that it refers to the class of objects to which the noun belongs. It is related to the verbal suffix -nac which expands the stem to include actions not ordinarily included (see section 78). Examples are: kate'kana'cini such as chokecherries (kate'ka stem; na'cini classifier) mako:'na'cini omini'kana'cini things like squash and beans (mako:' stem; na'cini; omini'k stem; na'cini) si:'na'cini things such as tallow meni'sna'cini such as horses Here is the source for the above: IJAL Vol. 9, No. 1, Aug., 1936 ISSN:00207071 Issue Stable URL:http://www.jstor.org/stable/i253985 page 26 And just for context, here is the section 78 referred to above, for the verbal suffix -nac: 78. Suffix -nac. - The suffix -nac is similar to -ahka in adding a quality of vagueness to the stem, and widening the category in some instances (see section 93). Examples are: xa'mahanaco'makoc it was kind of small (xa'mah small; -a- inserted between sonant and surd; -nac kind of ; -o'makoc narrative past) si'nacha da'hini he went wandering and (si to travel; -nac changes meaning to wander; -ha adverbalizes the complex; dah from deh to go; -i- phonetic connective; -ni general connective) i'rexana'cki when it was light enough (i'rex light; -a- inserted betwee nsurd and sonant; -nac enough; -ki temporal subordination) i'kahekana'cka')he he remembered well enough it is said (i'kahek stem; -a- between sonant and surd; -nac well enough; -ka'^eh quotative) 'i'ckanaco'makoc he resembled him (he was some- what like that) ('zt'cka to be that way; -nac kind of, changes stem to "resemble"; -o'makoc narra- tive past) e'henactore he would imply (he would kind of say) (e'he third person of irregular verb; -nac changes stem from "to say" to "to imply"; -tore future to women) That is from page 23 of the book. Hope that helps.

The conference is scheduled to run from June 2 (Wednesday) through June 5 (Saturday). I am still unsure as to how it will be organized as I have only received a handful of abstracts/paper titles. So if you have those, please pass them along. I know some of you are trying to juggle several things over this time period. I am planning the conference party for Saturday night so I hope most of you will be able to stick around for that. There is a block of rooms reserved at The Holiday Inn Chicago, North Shore. These rooms are at the special rate of $109.00 (not bad for Chicago). They will also be running a shuttle from the Hotel to Campus and back every day. The rooms should be reserved under the name Siouan and Caddoan Conference, but I just found out they were under the name Northeastern Illinois Linguistics. Hopefully that has been fixed and taken care of. If you have made reservations and didn't get the discount, call back and let them know. The number is: 847-679-8900. As soon as I get a draft of the conference schedule together I will send it out, but I need to hear from you all as to paper topics. Thanks!

This means using a noun to refer to particular different sorts of things that that noun refers to. In English such nouns are always plural. Here's some English examples: SHOES A: What shoes do you have? B: High-top, low-top, loafers... MAGAZINES A: What magazines do you have? B: Leisure, sports, news... COFFEES A: What coffees do you have? B: French roast, decaf, light roast... Here are some things that are NOT subkinds: A: What coffees do you have? B: Small cups, large cups, medium cups... A: What magazines do you have? B: Esquire, NASCAR, Newsweek... A: What shoes do you have?

Classifying -nacini. - The suffix -na'cini is a classifier, in that it refers to the class of objects to which the noun belongs. It is related to the verbal suffix -nac which expands the stem to include actions not ordinarily included (see section 78). Examples are: kate'kana'cini such as chokecherries (kate'ka stem; na'cini classifier) mako:'na'cini omini'kana'cini things like squash and beans (mako:' stem; na'cini; omini'k stem; na'cini) si:'na'cini things such as tallow meni'sna'cini such as horses Here is the source for the above: IJAL Vol. 9, No. 1, Aug., 1936 ISSN:00207071 Issue Stable URL:http://www.jstor.org/stable/i253985 page 26 And just for context, here is the section 78 referred to above, for the verbal suffix -nac: 78. Suffix -nac. - The suffix -nac is similar to -ahka in adding a quality of vagueness to the stem, and widening the category in some instances (see section 93). Examples are: xa'mahanaco'makoc it was kind of small (xa'mah small; -a- inserted between sonant and surd; -nac kind of ; -o'makoc narrative past) si'nacha da'hini he went wandering and (si to travel; -nac changes meaning to wander; -ha adverbalizes the complex; dah from deh to go; -i- phonetic connective; -ni general connective) i'rexana'cki when it was light enough (i'rex light; -a- inserted betwee nsurd and sonant; -nac enough; -ki temporal subordination) i'kahekana'cka')he he remembered well enough it is said (i'kahek stem; -a- between sonant and surd; -nac well enough; -ka'^eh quotative) 'i'ckanaco'makoc he resembled him (he was some- what like that) ('zt'cka to be that way; -nac kind of, changes stem to "resemble"; -o'makoc narra- tive past) e'henactore he would imply (he would kind of say) (e'he third person of irregular verb; -nac changes stem from "to say" to "to imply"; -tore future to women) That is from page 23 of the book. Hope that helps.
