<p>Thanks for noticing this Emilia!</p>
<p>We need to run some quantitative analysis to figure out whether vowel length distinctions like this are categorical, let alone phonemic. In the case of final particles like continuative "na", a likely explanation is phrase-final lengthening, which is an ordinary process in all languages as far as I know. Phrase-final lengthening is our tendency to slow down towards the end of a prosodic unit (a sort of melodic/rhythmic "chunk"). Since final particles are often at the end of a prosodic unit, quantitative analysis would look like finding a sample that includes a good number of them both at the end of a prosodic unit and in the middle of one, as well as sampling the "wood" examples both at the end of a prosodic unit and in the middle of one.</p>
<p>It's hard to do this in a corpus by just looking at one example pair like "na" vs. "na", because corpora don't tend to have enough examples in enough contexts to rule out huge sampling biasses and unanticipated confounds. Instead, what we need to do (maybe you and me could collaborate on this Emilia) is look at entire groups of words and morphemes and see if there's evidence for a categorical length distinction. Acoustic fun!</p>

vowel belongs to the word 'tree' and the extra long vowel is a continuative particle. The sample I have is of <i>ná ná</i> side by side so the comparative length is quite obvious. I am wondering if any other Siouan languages have vowel length and "extra long"
length. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

vowels like in Mandan) except for cases of compounds and composites, but I'd be interested to see how well that guess plays out.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black">It seems like there is some variation about how vowel length interacts with stress. I never have managed to figure out a simple, neat explanation for
how it works in Ponca and Omaha. It seems like if one of the first two syllables has a long vowel, that one usually gets stressed, but not always. Sometimes the stress placement is more an indicator of morphology than phonology, e.g. "itháe" "I speak" vs.
"íthae" "you speak". And when both vowels are underlyingly long it seems to me like there are morphological, phonological and "free" (across- and within-speaker) variations. And then there's the question of why "wa-" "them" seems to like stress more than "wa-"
"us". Is "wa-" "them" underlyingly long? <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black">I understand the situation in Ioway, Otoe and Missouria even less. Jimm may be able to help out here. I often notice when comparing recordings with
each other or with Jimm's dictionary that words like "Baxoje" "Ioway" are stressed on different syllables by different speakers or even by the same speaker in different contexts. It seems like the first vowel in "Baxoje" is long, so there may be some sort
of tension going on here between "Put stress on the third mora" and "Put stress on the first long vowel". The dictionary orthography (I think) puts stress on the first syllable.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

Also, Siouan vowels are sometimes long. Does a long vowel count as one syllable or two for purposes of the Siouan accent rule? If we have a word with the vowel of the first syllable long,</span><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
