<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>As I understand it so far, a monograph or whatever on Comparative Siouan Grammar will be a fairly complex undertaking, if we want to get the job done right. Grammar is a vast field, and so are Siouan studies. If a single grammar starts at, say, 250 pages, and we have, say, somewhere between 6-12 Siouan languages that could provide data which are detailed enough given today’s situation, grammar multiplied by Siouan might easily yield half a dozen volumes on Comparative Siouan Grammar. I think we’ll have to come up with a detailed strategy on how to handle this, especially on what topics to kick out because I don’t think we can cover everything, no matter how fascinating this would be.</FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>I’d also encourage publishing this as a book, rather than electronically. Personally, I believe this could be the kind of publication that many people, not just Siouanists, could profit from and would enjoy reading. The most convenient and adequate format for such a publication still is a book. I also think that the “social” version of this workshop shouldn’t be the next SCLC, simply because the methodological approach we need here is too different from what happens at a normal SCLC, where everybody tells their story, and that’s it. We’d have to interact in a much more intense and structured way. What about the people at such an SCLC who do not want to participate in the project? They will inevitably feel left out.</FONT></P>
