I would hope to raise issues relevant to Siouan linguistics, but it would not necessarily develop a linguistic topic in the sense of advancing our understanding of Chiwere structural features. At this point, I'm thinking about something on the orthography and distribution of missionary texts in Chiwere from the 1830s-1850s and its relation to the history of frontier printing. I may also compare the early missionary materials to those of later BAE and Boasian ethnologists and ethnographers like Dorsey, Marsh, and Whitman. If you do think it would be of interest, you can go ahead and put me on the list. But please don't be afraid to say something if you don't think it would fit---I won't be offended.</div> <div>Best,</div><div>Saul</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Mar 3, 2012 at 12:47 PM, David Kaufman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dvkanth2010@gmail.com">dvkanth2010@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Hi all,<br><br>Just FYI: here is an updated list, based on your feedback and corrections, of presentation topics so far submitted.
