Abstract:
The Siouan family comprises some twenty languages, historically spoken across
a broad swath of the central North American plains and woodlands, as well as
in parts of the southeastern United States.
In spite of its geographical extent and diversity, and the size and importance
of several Siouan-speaking tribes, this family has received relatively little
attention in the linguistic literature and many of the individual Siouan
languages are severely understudied. This volume aims to make work on Siouan
languages more broadly available and to encourage deeper investigation of the
myriad typological, theoretical, descriptive, and pedagogical issues they
raise.
The 17 chapters in this volume present a broad range of current Siouan
research, focusing on various Siouan languages, from a variety of linguistic
perspectives: historical-genetic, philological, applied, descriptive,
formal/generative, and comparative/typological. The editors' preface
summarizes characteristic features of the Siouan family, including head-final
and "verb-centered" syntax, a complex system of verbal affixes including
applicatives and subject-possessives, head-internal relative clauses, gendered
speech markers, stop-systems including ejectives, and a preference for certain
prosodic and phonotactic patterns.
The volume is dedicated to the memory of Professor Robert L. Rankin, a
towering figure in Siouan linguistics throughout his long career, who passed
away in February of 2014.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
