> Dear all,
>
> I am currently doing some work looking at the structure of PhD

> having a particularly difficult time finding work beyond the USA, Australia
> and The Netherlands.
>
> In particular I am looking for:
>
> - PhD dissertations/theses (no MA sorry!);
> - Dated 2003-2012;
> - That are based on primary documentation of a language, and are either
> a grammatical description of the whole system, or focus on a specific
> morpho-syntactic area;
> - Are from institutions not in Australia/Canada/USA/Netherlands;
> - Are in English;
> - That I could access as an electronic copy.
>
> I know that those countries do dominate the research field in this area,
> but I'm hoping to add to the few examples that I already have. They do not
> need to be T-B focused.

Ajiboye, Oladiipo Jacob. (2006) Topics On Yoruba Nominal Expressions. The University of British Columbia (Canada) doctoral dissertation. [ajiboye_yoruba2005_o.pdf ajiboye_expressions2006.pdf] [This thesis discusses four selected topics on Yorùbá nominal expressions: the syntax of possessives, the construal of bare nouns, the marking of specificity and salience, and plural marking strategies. Regarding possessives, it is proposed that they have one base structure (a νP shell). The difference in surface linear order between verbal and nominal genitives is determined by which of the two arguments move. In nominal genitives, the possessum moves. In verbal genitives, it is the possessor that moves. Regarding the interpretation of Yorùbá bare nouns, it is shown that they can be construed in one of three ways: as generics, as indefinites, or as definites. First, generics may be lexically conditioned (with permanent state predicates) or grammatically conditioned (with transitory predicates through the use of imperfective máa-ń). Second, wherever a generic construal is illicit, an indefinite construal is licit. Third, definite construals are discourse-linked. Regarding specificity, it is shown that Yorùbá overtly marks specificity on NPs with the element kan. Regarding salience, it is shown that definite DPs are morphologically marked as salient (by virtue of being unique, in an identity relation or additive) through the use ofnáà. Finally, regarding plural marking, it is shown that Yorùbá uses three different strategies: contextually, semantically, or morphologically determined plurality. It is proposed that the deployment of the PLURAL feature is determined by feature percolation or feature matching. -- PhD -- PDF 11.92Mb image-only PDF -- 2366 -- 58941 -- specific_feature -- 9780494129753 -- Yoruba [yor] -- Africa -- 294 -- DAI-A 67/03, p. 915, Sep 2006 -- LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS (0290) -- NR12975]

Angali, Koorosh. (2004) The Angali Dialect. University of California, Berkeley doctoral dissertation. [angali_angali2004v2.pdf angali_angali2004_o.pdf angali_angali2004.pdf] [The present work is a descriptive grammatical and lexical study of the Angālī dialect, which is spoken in an area to the southwest of the province of Fārs (Persia proper), in Iran. This dialect represents linguistic peculiarities which connect it with a larger family of Iranian dialects. Its tight kinship with southern and western languages and dialects, such as Lurī (Baxtiyāri, Mamassanī, etc.), Tangestāni, Shabānkare'i, Būshehri, Shīrāzi, Lāri, Khonji, and many more, is evident in such words as Ang. and Baxt. xal 'bent'; Ang., Lārī and Khonji borm 'eyebrow', etc. Its close affinity to older languages, such as Middle Persian (MP), is particularly evident in its lexical features: beīg 'bride' < MP wayōg, PIr. *wadū-kā; bānde: 'bird' < MP bāyandag, and many more. In addition, there is evidence that this dialect has retained some features even older than MP, which not only places it among the more conservative languages—unlike Standard Persian—but also links it even to the north eastern Iranian languages, viz., Ang., Zebaki, Iškašmi, and Baluči dīr 'far', NP dūr (cf. Ang. xīn < xūn); Ang. līve: 'silly' (prob. <*dīv 'demon'), Iš. lēw 'a night-demon', Av. daēva- 'demon'. The Angālī dialect has never been studied before, and this dissertation is the first recording of this dialect. The materials used for this purpose, in addition to my personal notes, include over thirty audio and video tapes that I recorded during several intermittent trips to the Angālī villages. They also provided enough materials for a brief study of the folklore in this region. Some of these studies are included in the Appendix. In the introduction, the reader will find a geographical and topological description of the area. The three succeeding chapters are allocated to the phonological, morphological, and syntactic study of the dialect. The following chapters include an appendix—containing transcriptions and translations of a selection of sentences, proverbs and expressions, riddles, local poetry, and children's tales—a study of verbs, and a glossary. Finally, a select bibliography provides a comprehensive source of references. -- Schwartz, Martin -- PhD -- PDF 16.82Mb image-only PDF -- 5516 -- 52114 -- grammar -- English [eng] -- 9780496056811 -- Angali = Fars Dialects [fay] -- Eurasia -- 510 -- DAI-A 65/09, p. 3355, Mar 2005 -- LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS (0290); LITERATURE, MIDDLE EASTERN (0315); LANGUAGE, MODERN (0291) -- 3146782]

Avelino Becerra, Heriberto. (2004) Topics in Yalalag Zapotec, With Particular Reference To Its Phonetic Structures (Mexico). University of California, Los Angeles doctoral dissertation. [avelinobecerra_yalalag2004.pdf] [This dissertation is primarily intended as a description of the Yalálag Zapotec (YZ) language of Oaxaca, México, with particular reference to its phonetic structures. The first section is an introduction to the Yalálag Zapotec language, its orthography and basic facts of its grammar. Chapter 2 outlines the noun and verb morphology, and Chapter 3 presents a sketch of sentence structure. The second section provides a detailed description of the phonetic structures of the language. Chapter 4 deals with vowels, consonants and tone. The YZ five modal vowels and four laryngealized vowels are described here. The phonetic properties of consonants are also presented, including the phonetic correlates of the fortis-lenis contrast. It is shown that VOT is a reliable parameter for obstruents; the phonetics of obstruent devoicing and consonant clusters are discussed. A description of the three contrastive tones in YZ closes the chapter. YZ data supports the typology of contour tone restrictions based on the weight of the rime: more sonorous and longer rimes are capable of bearing Falling tone; however, Falling tone can occur in non-sonorous rimes. Chapter 5 offers an analysis of vowel phonation, describing in detail the acoustic properties of modal and laryngealized vowels. The analysis shows that the time course of phonation in YZ is restricted to the edges of the vowel. This pattern suggests that the timing of nonmodal phonation is organized to guarantee the production and perception of multiple phonemic features that could otherwise contradict each other in actual implementation. Chapter 6 presents a palatographic and acoustic study of YZ coronals, denti-alveolars, postalveolars and alveo-palatals. The compression of coronal consonants in a narrow articulatory space allows us to observe the degree of variability in their production. The third section is composed of two chapters devoted to an investigation of the perception of tone in YZ. Chapter 7 investigates whether the perception of tone in YZ is categorical. Chapter 8 presents a dichotic listening experiment concerning the perception of linguistic and non-linguistic pitch in YZ. The results do not support a categorical perception of tone and show a consistent right ear advantage for lexical tone. -- Munro, Pamela -- yala1267 -- PhD -- PDF 14.93Mb image-only PDF -- 8005 -- 55241 -- phonology -- English [eng] -- 9780496651351 -- 39256 -- Yalálag Zapotec [zpu] -- North America -- False -- 315 -- DAI-A 65/01, p. 129, Jul 2004 -- LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS (0290) -- 3117711]

Berthiaume, Scott Charles. (2003) A Phonological Grammar of Northern Pame (Mexico). The University of Texas at Arlington doctoral dissertation. [berthiaume_pame2003_o.pdf berthiaume_pame2003.pdf berthiaume_northern-pame2003.pdf] [This dissertation describes the phonology and morphology of Northern Pame, an Otomanguean language of Central Mexico. Furthermore, it explains the grammatical relationship of these domains from an Optimality Theoretic perspective. In terms of description, Northern Pame has a complex phonological inventory of 40 consonants, which distinguish among glottalized, aspirated, voiceless and voiced segments, as well as 6 vowels, which contrast for nasalization. In addition, a claim is made for two Northern Pame tones, in contrast to earlier suggestions of a three-tone system (Avelino 1997). Regarding Otomanguean laryngeally complex vowels (Silverman 1997b, Herrera 2000), this research provides phonological, as well as laryngealscopic evidence for the segmental, rather than a unit, interpretation in Northern Pame. Northern Pame allows for complex syllable margins, but these are severely constrained by the OCP. Syllable complex nuclei are completely forbidden, and epenthesis (*DEP) is the common strategy to resolve potential nuclei problems. Northern Pame is morphologically complex, marking nouns for class, possession, number including dual and plural, and association. Verbs fall into two classes, each of which is sub-divided based on transitivity. Verbs and nouns share the same suffix morphology for number. Northern Pame morphophonemics encompass processes that affect place or precedence (metathesis, palatalization), laryngealization and syllable well-formedness. Under such underlying circumstances, the constraints UNIFORMITY-IO and LINEARITY-IO are the common minimal violations. -- Silva, David J. -- PhD -- PDF 16.96Mb image-only PDF -- 14448 -- 44546 -- grammar -- English [eng] -- 9780496859320 -- Pame-Northern [pmq] -- North America -- 260 -- DAI-A 65/07, p. 2583, Jan 2005 -- LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS (0290) -- 3138780]

[byrd_calunga2005.pdf byrd_mineiro2005.pdf] [Calunga is an Afro-Brazilian 'secret language' spoken mainly in and around Patrocínio, a rural city located in the region of the Triângulo Mineiro in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. Labeled linguistically as a falar africano ('Afro-Brazilian speech'), the sociolinguistic origins of Calunga are not clear, not even to its speakers, though some theories trace the speech to the 18th century quilombos ('maroon slave communities') of the Triângulo Mineiro or to the Afro-Brazilian tropeiros ('cowboys') of the sertão mineiro ('outback of Minas Gerais'). Today, this speech community exists in a moribund state with generally older speakers that number in the hundreds, located mostly in or around the city of Patrocínio, though the language has been reported to exist elsewhere in and around the region. Even though its origins and evolution is unclear, Calunga speech has shifted grammatically in the direction of the regional variety of Brazilian Portuguese Vernacular---popularly termed caipira ('bumpkin') Portuguese---demonstrating a stage toward language change, language attrition, or even language death. Its current lexicon, however, points to three possible Bantu languages from the Congo/Angola region of West Africa: Kimbundu, Umbundu, and Kikongo. The purpose of this dissertation, therefore, is to discuss the linguistic origins of Calunga; to describe its linguistic patterns; and finally to analyze its linguistic relation to the local contemporary variety of Brazilian Portuguese Vernacular in search of any possible African linguistic influences on the regional Portuguese. -- Sole, Carlos A. -- PhD -- PDF 5.11Mb normal PDF -- 22205 -- 7538 -- grammar_sketch;socling -- English [eng] -- 9780542650932 -- Calunga = Brazilian Portuguese with African lexical elements [por] -- Eurasia -- 234 -- DAI-A 67/04, p. 1312, Oct 2006 -- LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS (0290); BLACK STUDIES (0325) -- 3215312]

The analysis comprises the concept of science and the patterns of social relationship that characterized the international scientific community devoted to the study of South-American languages and cultures during the years 1890-1929. In addition, Capistrano de Abreu's system of segmentation and categorization of words and their affixes in Cashinaua was identified and the descriptive accuracy of some of his analyses tested.

Conathan, Lisa Jane. (2004) The Linguistic Ecology of Northwestern California: Contact, Functional Convergence and Dialectology. University of California, Berkeley doctoral dissertation. [conathan_california2004.pdf conathan_california2004_o.pdf conathan_convergence2004.pdf] [This dissertation examines the linguistic effects and sociolinguistic context of language contact in Northwestern California. Northwestern California is a linguistic area that developed under relatively egalitarian conditions. Its profile differs from those contact situations of 'cultural pressure' from a socially or politically dominant language. Chapter 1 introduces the languages to be discussed (Tolowa, Hupa, Karuk, Chimariko, Yurok and Wiyot). Indigenous Northwestern California is a linguistically diverse area, with languages belonging to three families (Athapaskan, Hokan and Algic). Archaeological evidence supports a particular migration sequence into Northwestern California, with Athapaskan speakers the most recent migrants, preceded by Algic speakers. Speakers of Hokan languages presumably represent the earliest known inhabitants of California. The extensive contact that resulted in the Northwestern California linguistic area persisted for approximately the last millennium. The sources for this study include early twentieth century field notes of A. L. Kroeber, R. B. Dixon, J. P. Harrington, P. E. Goddard, and G. A. Reichard as well as published descriptions and the author's fieldwork on Yurok. Chapter 2 presents contact features in Northwestern California, including diminutive consonant symbolism, a diminutive affix of a similar shape, similarities in numeral systems and directional terminology, reduplication marking repetitive aspect, second person prominence in argument marking, a verbal or numeral classifier for 'house,' the presence of numeral classifiers, preverbal particles marking tense, aspect and mood, verb initial word order, frequent loan translations and shared euphemisms. Chapter 3 outlines the sociolinguistic context of language contact in Northwestern California, describing political organization, ethnonyms, multilingualism and dialectology. Early twentieth century records provide evidence for previously unattested dialect variation and a downriver movement of linguistic innovation. Chapter 4 compares the profile of language contact in Northwestern California to that in three other contact situations. Language contact in Northwestern California (as well as in other linguistic areas) cannot be explained in terms of borrowing or shift-induced interference, and instead represents a third trajectory of functional convergence. Functional convergence involves increasing similarity in the semantic and pragmatic categories expressed, but not increasing similarity in surface syntax. Chapter 5 concludes with recapitulation of the main findings and a discussion of open questions. -- Garrett, Andrew -- PhD -- PDF 16.24Mb image-only PDF -- 29747 -- 134472 -- overview;comparative -- English [eng] -- 9780542007552 -- North America -- 203 -- DAI-A 66/02, p. 570, Aug 2005 -- LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS (0290) -- 3165330]

[cumberland_saskatchewan2005.pdf cumberland_assiniboine2005_s.pdf cumberland_assiniboine2005_o.pdf] [Assiniboine, sometimes referred to as Nakoda, is an American Indian language of the Siouan language family presently spoken by fewer than one hundred people in Montana (United States) and Saskatchewan (Canada). It is a member of a dialect continuum identified by Parks and DeMallie (Anthropological Linguistics 1992) as Sioux-Assiniboine-Stoney. The canonical sentence structure is subject-object-verb, also characterized by postpositions, head marking, and internally headed relative clauses. Morphological processes are primarily agglutinating. The phoneme inventory consists of twenty-seven consonants, including plain, aspirated, and ejective stops, and eight vowels, five oral and three nasal. The language is structure-preserving; consonant allophony is restricted to the phoneme inventory. Assiniboine has no nominal case system, no definite or indefinite articles, and no verbal tense marking. Clauses are marked as 'potential' by means of a verbal enclitic and unmarked clauses are 'realized,' effectively creating a future/non-future distinction. The verbal system is split-intransitive (active/stative); the object pronominal affixes of active-transitive verbs coincide with the subject pronominal affixes of the stative verbs. Participant information is encoded on the verb so that nominal antecedents may be omitted from the clause, but the question of whether Assiniboine is a 'pronominal argument' language remains open. Deverbal nominalization is highly productive, as are verb compounding and noun incorporation. Verbal prefixation and suffixation both occur, but verbal prefixation is more systematic. Suffixation occurs in all major word classes. Assiniboine has an elaborate system of post-verbal particles that express aspect and modality; in verb compounding, verbal enclitics attach to the matrix verb and objects of the complement remain on the complement. There is a complex system of motion verbs, analyzed here as consisting of four triadic modules that encode notions of deictic center, base, direction, and belonging. A chapter on kinship includes a description of respect speech and a comprehensive list of kin terms. Appendices include three texts, orthographic equivalencies, and a cross-dialect comparison of instrumental prefixes. The grammar is written in what has recently been characterized as 'basic linguistic theory.' This is the first comprehensive description of the phonology, morphology, and syntax of the Assimboine language. -- Parks, Douglas R. -- PhD -- PDF 6.27Mb normal PDF -- 32070 -- 85522 -- grammar -- English [eng] -- 9780542436437 -- Assiniboine [asb] -- North America -- 486 -- DAI-A 66/11, p. 4002, May 2006 -- LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS (0290); ANTHROPOLOGY, CULTURAL (0326) -- 3195576]

Custis, Tonya. (2004) Word Order Variation in Tongan: A Syntactic Analysis. University of Minnesota doctoral dissertation. [custis_tongan2004_o.pdf custis_tongan2004.pdf] [The research objective of this Ph.D. thesis is to syntactically account for word order variation in Tongan. The analysis proposed in this thesis reflects the syntactic and the pragmatic facts of Tongan word order variation. Further, it is a unified theory in which each possible word order (VSO, VOS, SVO, OVS) is derived from the same underlying syntactic configuration, and in which the derivation of each word order complements (i.e., doesn't contradict) the derivations of the other word orders. Each chapter of this thesis deals with a particular piece of the puzzle of Tongan syntax: Chapter 2 outlines the pragmatic motivations for Tongan word order variation. Chapter 3 provides a general syntactic account of verb-initial constructions in Tongan, in which verb-raising is adopted over predicate-raising. Chapter 4 dives a bit deeper into verb-initial syntax in Tongan, showing that negative constructions and SCL constructions in Tongan are best accounted for in a syntax where the tense marker is treated as a complementizer. Chapter 5 discusses the morpheme ko and its dual nature, functioning both as topic-marker and predicate-nominal complementizer. All of these topics have proven to be interrelated—the analysis of each supports the analyses of all the others. Taken together, the individual analyses from each chapter make up a consistent theory for pragmatically-motivated word order variation in Tongan. This thesis provides a systematic look at the interactions of cognitive status, topicality, and word order variation in Tongan. Contributions made by this thesis to Minimalist syntax include illustrating that movement to a higher specifier within the same projection should be disallowed, and showing that Chomsky's (1993) Extension Condition is a necessary one in Tongan syntax (the derivation of VOS provides an especially good example). In addition, this thesis contributes to verb-initial syntax, by showing that, pragmatically and syntactically, it makes most sense for VSO languages to be verb-raising languages (and, perhaps, that conversely, it makes pragmatic sense for VOS to be predicate-raising languages). -- Stenson, Nancy J. -- PhD -- PDF 5.60Mb image-only PDF -- 32310 -- 76836 -- specific_feature -- English [eng] -- 9780496145249 -- Tonga (Tonga Islands) [ton] -- Papua -- 181 -- DAI-A 65/11, p. 4174, May 2005 -- LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS (0290) -- 3154036]

Elias, David Lyndon. (2005) Tigre of Habab: Short Grammar and Texts From the Rigbat People (Eritrea). Harvard University doctoral dissertation. [elias_rigbat2005_o.pdf elias_rigbat2005.pdf] [Tigre is spoken by between 10 and 20 percent of the approximately 3.8 million inhabitants of Eritrea (East Africa). While there are a dozen Tigre-speaking groups, only one dialect, that of the Mensa' ethnic group, has been recorded grammatically, lexically, and textually. The remaining dialects of Tigre are relatively undocumented. The need for documentation is especially great in phonetics and phonology. In the present exposition, data are analyzed from the linguistic fieldwork conducted by the author with two Tigre speakers from the Rigbat people in the H&dotbelow;abāb ethnic group. Included in this research, which took place in Eritrea during 2000–2001 and 2002–2003, was the elicitation and recording of several short stories. This work is a comprehensive grammatical overview of the H&dotbelow;abāb-Rigbat dialect of Tigre: its phonology, morphology, syntax, and lexicography. It includes the first translated Tigre texts (from any dialect) that have been published in phonetic transcription. The Rigbat dialect is different from Tigre of Mensa` in a number of ways. With respect to phonology (chapters 2 and 3), there are several instances of the assimilation of t and n. Guttural consonants are weakened or lost in some environments, and a following a is frequently realized as [a]. Geminates are often simplified. A vowel is frequently lost in an unstressed open syllable, and epenthesis of ⟨schwa⟩ occurs between a plosive and r. With respect to morphology (chapters 4, 5, and 6), there is limited use of a gender-specific 1SG possessive suffix, e.g. `⟨schwa⟩n-ye 'my-MS eye' vs. `⟨schwa⟩n-če 'my-CS eye', and neither diminutive nouns nor the D stem verb k&dotbelow;atātala is attested. In the future tense construction '⟨schwa⟩g⟨schwa⟩l + JUSS + COP, the copula is conjugated for gender and number in third person forms, while 3MS tu occurs for first and second person. The C stem k&dotbelow;ātala appears to be lexical, and there exist B passive, C passive, and Q passive verb stems alongside the t⟨schwa⟩-A/B, t⟨schwa⟩-C, and t⟨schwa⟩-Q stems. ya-halla-nni 'there-M is not' occurs more frequently than 'i-halla, and the negative of the verb y⟨schwa⟩-...-n(ni) occurs alongside 'i-+VERB. With respect to syntax (chapters 7 and 8), noun phrases are generally NOUN + ADJ. The lexicon (chapter 9) is marked by a preponderance of Arabic loans and by a number of Tigrinya, English, Italian, and Amharic Loans.

[franzen_market2005.pdf franzen_huaorani2005_o.pdf] [The Huaorani are an indigenous hunter-gatherer-horticulturalist group living in the Ecuadorian Amazon. I investigated hunting, food sharing, and market participation within two Huaorani communities, using an interdisciplinary approach combining human behavioral ecology, microeconomic theory, and conservation biology. Research was conducted in the communities of Guiyero and Dicaro, located on a private oil road within the Yasuni National Park and Biosphere Reserve. The primary objectives of my research were (1) to test theories of food sharing in two Huaorani communities, (2) to examine the relationship between intra-community sharing and extra-community trading, specifically of meat resources, and (3) to consider conservation implications of current patterns of resource use within the area. Households in the two Huaorani communities differed markedly in their involvement in the market sale of bushmeat and their food sharing behavior. This variation allowed me to test competing evolutionary hypotheses for the maintenance of food sharing within traditional communities under different contexts. I designed the study to not only tease out the relative importance of the five principal hypothesized mechanisms maintaining food sharing (kin selection, reciprocal altruism/risk reduction, costly signaling and showing off, tolerated theft, and cooperative acquisition), but also to illustrate how market integration affects intra-community sharing. I found the strongest support for reciprocal altruism as a primary motivation for food sharing among the Huaorani when contingency between households is measured in terms of the frequency of sharing. This was supported by evidence that households accurately perceive the sharing behavior of others in the community. However, there appear to be additional benefits to sharing in the community aside from risk reduction. This is demonstrated by the finding that households do not substitute sharing in the community with selling in the market. If risk reduction were the only benefit to sharing then households would be expected to trade meat for immediate compensation in the form of storable foods. Lastly, evidence was found for the local depletion of two primate species, the woolly monkey and spider monkey, and possibly the tapir. This is driven primarily by subsistence hunting rather than market hunting. -- Mulder, Monique Borgerhoff -- PhD -- PDF 10.13Mb image-only PDF -- 46978 -- 21722 -- ethnographic -- English [eng] -- 9780542085321 -- South America -- False -- 196 -- DAI-A 66/04, p. 1410, Oct 2005 -- ANTHROPOLOGY, CULTURAL (0326); BIOLOGY, ECOLOGY (0329) -- 3171874]

Le peuplement de la Louisiane durant cette période a été marqué par l'arrivée de nombreux esclaves noirs venant de la Sénégambie. Cette spécificité démographique a eu pour conséquence, une influence des cultures sénégambiennes sur la population afro-créole de la Louisiane à travers le folklore, la cuisine, la fabrication des instruments, les activités agricoles et surtout la conservation de certaines valeurs culturelles dont les sources véritables peuvent être retracées en Sénégambie. Le peuplement par les esclaves noirs en Louisiane est par essence multiethnique et reflète l'organisation sociale et les relations de classes et de castes qui existent de nos jours en Sénégambie. La diversité de ce peuplement à travers les ethnies est à comprendre avec la spécificité de certaines catégories de populations en Sénégambie dont la particularité a permis de conserver et d'adapter l'héritage culturel des esclaves qui se déclinent aujourd'hui à travers les contes, les modalités du merveilleux et de l'imaginaire. De nouvelles pistes de recherches ont été ainsi ouvertes pour une meilleure compréhension de l'origine des esclaves noirs en Louisiane et comment les dynamiques ethnique et de castes doivent être davantage explorées. -- Ancelet, Barry Jean -- PhD -- PDF 5.70Mb image-only PDF -- 49467 -- 139115 -- comparative -- FRENCH -- 9780542706417 -- Africa -- 134 -- DAI-A 67/05, p. 1709, Nov 2006 -- LANGUAGE, GENERAL (0679); HISTORY, AFRICAN (0331); HISTORY, UNITED STATES (0337); HISTORY, BLACK (0328); ANTHROPOLOGY, CULTURAL (0326) -- 3220064]
Gerassimova, Veronica. (2005) Unbounded Dependency Constructions in Western Austronesian. Stanford University doctoral dissertation. [gerassimova_unbounded2005.pdf gerassimova_austronesian2005_o.pdf gerassimova_dependency2005.pdf] [This dissertation presents an account of unbounded dependency (UD) constructions in two western Malayo-Polynesian languages (from now on Western Austronesian, or WAn), Tagalog and Palauan. The UDs in WAn have been described as typologically unusual: they are represented by two distinct types of phenomena, chains with voice constraints, in which verbs must appear in a strictly determined voice form, and wh-agreement, or the presence of verb forms unique to UDs. Whereas wh-agreement is associated with only two languages in WAn, Palauan and Chamorro, chains with voice constraints have been reported for a variety of WAn languages, most notably the Philippine (Tagalog, Ilocano, Cebuano), the Javanic languages (Malay, Javanese, Madurese, Balinese, Indonesian), and Malagasy. However, according to the majority of works on WAn UDs, chains with voice constraints and wh-agreement are atypical among A-bar dependencies. Leaving aside theory-internal issues, a more serious problem for existing accounts is that they ascribe to A-bar dependencies essential characteristics of A-relations. I propose a new account of WAn UDs that overcomes problems with existing accounts. The analysis presented here makes two main claims. First, I propose that chains with voice constraints in Tagalog involve not extraction, but (Subject-to-Subject) raising, i.e. an A-dependency. Second, it shows that UDs in Palauan display not wh-agreement, but voice marking, and therefore involve a raising relation, as in Tagalog. The first hypothesis has important consequences for the picture of UD in WAn, as it can be generalized to chains with voice constraints in several other languages. The second hypothesis shows that wh-agreement is not attested in WAn. Rather, WAn languages display uniformly chains with voice constraints. In addition, I suggest that the structure of UDs in Tagalog is closely related to the organization of simple canonical clauses in the language. I offer an analysis of simple sentences types in Tagalog that provides important insights into the organization of clausal syntax in Tagalog, and the function and typology of voice systems across languages. My core idea is that sentences in Tagalog consist of a predicate phrase and a predication subject, which differ in important respects from verb phrases and grammatical subjects in nominative or ergative languages. -- Sells, Peter; Zwicky, Arnold -- PhD -- PDF 15.31Mb image-only PDF -- 49969 -- 152380 -- overview;comparative -- 9780496960170 -- Papua -- 202 -- DAI-A 66/01, p. 162, Jul 2005 -- LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS (0290) -- 3162324]

Halvaksz, Jamon Alex II. (2005) Re-Imagining Biangai Environments: Mining and Conservation in the Wau Bulolo Valley, Papua New Guinea. University of Minnesota doctoral dissertation. [halvaksz_biangai2005_o.pdf ii_bulolo2005.pdf] [This dissertation research examines the intersections of mining and conservation efforts within two neighboring Papua New Guinean villages and examines how these efforts inform local environmental imaginaries. For the Biangai villages of Elauru and Winima (Morobe Province), the Western dichotomies of nature and culture are not fixed and easily separable. Instead, social relations and relations with nature are linked through metaphors and practices associated with work and residence. These relations form the basis of Biangai environmental imaginaries. However, they do not delineate the range of possibilities of any given individual or group as they manipulate egocentric and sociocentric conceptualizations of personhood in response to practices associated with development projects. I argue that in their responses to the practices of conservation and mining, Biangai imaginatively manipulate networks of persons and things, nature and culture. Personhood is not fixed as relational or individual, but reveals something about individual and group reactions to events and practices. Furthermore, this research also suggests that while conservation and mining differ in kind with respect to their impacts on the physical landscape, their effects on the social landscape differ only in degree. In part, this is a product of the proximity of the mine to the conservation area in question, but also reflects transformations in the social landscape associated with Western notions of nature and culture that are shared by both projects. -- Barlow, Kathleen; Lipset, David M. -- bian1252 -- PhD -- PDF 80.74Mb image-only PDF -- 56607 -- 42066 -- ethnographic -- English [eng] -- 9780496958757 -- 28478 -- Biangai [big] -- Papua -- False -- 329 -- DAI-A 66/01, p. 228, Jul 2005 -- ANTHROPOLOGY, CULTURAL (0326) -- 3161982]

[hildebrandt_manange2003_o.pdf hildebrandt_manangetone2003_s.pdf hildebrandt_retention2003.pdf hildebrandt_manangetone2003.pdf] [Manange is a Tibeto-Burman language of Nepal, described as possessing a four-way tone contrast. This dissertation provides a description of the system based on an acoustic analysis in different syllable and word types. As Manange evidences a great deal of phonetic variation at the idiolectal level, this dissertation also contains an investigation of phonetic properties of tone for seven native speakers from urban and rural communities within Nepal. Some of this variation is the result of system-internal factors, including the effects of intrinsic pitch properties. Other variation indicates more profound effects to the tone system as a whole, and is attributed to long-term bilingual contact with Nepali, a non-tonal Indo-Aryan language. Evidence presented from language practice and attitude surveys, in tandem with descriptions of pitch characteristics across the seven speakers, indicates that a combination of factors contributes to the degree and rate of structural change across speakers. Relevant social factors include revised notions of language community and social network, and degrees of access to the native language. Even a very small community of speakers may function to promote the retention of conservative linguistic features, as long as access to the native language in that community is regular and unrestricted. An additional factor is the relative frequency at which certain lexical items are used in discourse. For speakers with unrestricted access to Manange, frequent items pattern into pitch categories more closely resembling the four-way contrast of the conservative tone system, while rare items evidence merger. These findings provide evidence for frequency effects discussed by Hooper (1976); Bybee (2001) and Bybee and Hopper (2001). By contrast, for speakers with compromised access to Manange, frequent words show reductive pitch effects, while infrequent words, by virtue of their marked status as specialized vocabulary, show retention of tones. These findings indicate that context of use predicts the type of phonological change and the rate of diffusion through the lexicon. -- Genetti, Carol -- PhD -- PDF 11.36Mb image-only PDF -- 61218 -- 88009 -- phonology -- English [eng] -- 9780496509997 -- Manangba [nmm] -- Eurasia -- 409 -- DAI-A 64/08, p. 2861, Feb 2004 -- LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS (0290) -- 3103431]

The study provided the data for three findings. First, Nde (Apache) buffalo hunters are ancestors of Chief Cuelga de Castro and the Cuelgahen Nde Lipan Apache of Texas are his descendants. Second, Cuelgahen Nde are historically and culturally affiliated with Native American anti-colonial alliances in south Texas and northeastern, an historical site in which, they learned a religious use of peyote from the Carrizo Nation that became the foundation for the Native American Church and the miyote reported in the Cuelgahen Nde oral tradition. Third, Native American people of South Texas affiliated with Mexican and Mexican American history and culture presently integrate family traditions into Native American religious observance characterized by purification lodges, Native American dance traditions, and the religious use of peyote. In all, this study documents Native American cultural survival and revitalization among people known as Mexicanos, Mexicans, Chicanos, Mexican Americans, and American Indians by way of a common genealogical, historical, and cultural affiliation with prehistoric, colonial, and modern Mexican and Texas Indians. -- Menchaca, Martha -- PhD -- PDF 7.16Mb normal PDF -- 87473 -- 82932 -- overview;ethnographic -- English [eng] -- 9780496635481 -- Lipan Apache [apl] -- North America -- 680 -- DAI-A 64/12, p. 4517, Jun 2004 -- ANTHROPOLOGY, CULTURAL (0326); AMERICAN STUDIES (0323); SOCIOLOGY, ETHNIC AND RACIAL STUDIES (0631) -- 3116112]

Bantu languages, a group of 500+ languages spoken in Africa south of the Sahara, provide an excellent testing ground for both Optimality Theory and Correspondence Theory (Brassil 2000, Downing 1997, 1999, 2000, 2002; Hyman and Mtenje 1999; Odden I996; Myers and Carleton I996 and Mtenje 2002). The most important finding emerging from the ongoing research is that (Bantu) reduplication is essentially a morphological process. In more recent studies, (Bantu) reduplication is viewed as a morphological process that can be accounted for morphosyntactically without referring to the Base-Reduplicant correspondences (Hyman, Inkelas and Sibanda, 1998); or simply as morphological doubling (Inkelas and Zoll, 2000). This study provides further evidence to support the view that (Bantu) reduplication is essentially a morphological process. By using the Lexical Conservatism model (Steriade 1997), the study shows that the reduplicant must be a listed morphological stem in Kisukuma. The truncation of stems is thus not preferred and nominal (nouns, adjective and number) stems must surface intact in the reduplicant regardless of their length or segmental composition. Stem truncation is tolerated in verb-stem reduplication but only to the extent that it produces a reduplicant that is a listed morphological stem. When the morphology is opaque (as in recent unassimilated loans), however, morphological constraints cannot be evaluated and the size of the reduplicant is determined by phonology. As far as tonal transfer is concerned, the study demonstrates that none of the proposed models can fully account for tonal transfer patterns in Kisukuma particularly when the Mobile H tone is involved. The study also shows that Optimal Domains Theory (Cassimjee and Kisseberth I998) cannot account for the Kisukuma wide domain because it is neither bounded nor unbounded. Moreover, Kisukuma requires that syllables, and not moras alone, be recognized as sponsors. It is our hope that this study will further our understanding of reduplication and how it interacts with tone, not only in Bantu languages, but also in languages from other families. -- Hinnebusch, Thomas J.; Steriade, Donca -- PhD -- PDF 11.81Mb image-only PDF -- 91179 -- 137673 -- phonology -- English [eng] -- 9780496290659 -- Africa -- 356 -- DAI-A 64/02, p. 484, Aug 2003 -- LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS (0290) -- 3081192]

[pfouts_namibia2003_o.pdf pfouts_bce2003.pdf] [This dissertation initiates the task of reconstructing the overall history of northern Namibia and adjacent areas of Angola and Botswana, from the first millennium BCE up to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It applies the established methods of linguistic historical reconstruction, already used by a variety of scholars in African history, to perform this task. A number of sources contribute to the work, but the most extensive bodies of evidence are basic and cultural vocabularies collected in the field by the author. Chapter One lays out the background to the study. It surveys previous work on the history, archaeology, and linguistic relationships of the region. It identifies the Bantu and Khoisan languages germane to the study and discusses earlier efforts at linguistically classifying them, and it briefly considers the earlier stages of Bantu language history, before 2500 years ago, out of which the southwesterly Bantu groups emerged. Chapter Two describes the approaches, techniques, and theory behind this kind of study and sets out the evidence for classifying the languages of the region. From these findings it sketches the early territorial history of the establishment, divergences, and spreads of these languages from the second half of the last millennium BCE onward. The group of languages central to the study is Kavango-Southwest Bantu, which divides into two primary groups, Kavango and Southwest Bantu. Each of these, in turn, breaks into further subgroups. Other languages of the region, belonging to other branches of Bantu, also are crucial components of the study. A tabling of lexical innovations substantiating the validity of each of the various subgroups concludes this chapter. Chapter Three investigates key aspects of economic and technological change at the different historical stages laid out in Chapter Two, Topics include early subsistence practices, developments in livestock-raising, the coming of metalworking to the region, and changes toward more dry-land types of agriculture. The chapter also views the changing interactions over time among peoples with differing economic practices—Khoisan herders and hunter-gatherers, and Bantu fishers, farmers, and livestock raisers. Chapter Four looks at correlating archaeology with linguistic historical findings. It finds some probable correlations between earlier speech communities and particular sites in the sparse, uneven archaeology of Namibia, the Okavango, the Caprivi, and northern Botswana. But most importantly it provides systematic proposals, derived from the linguistic historical inferences, about where extensive future archaeological work might prove especially fruitful and about what such work might uncover. The linguistic findings are also considered in relation to the oral histories. Chapter Five sums up the overall findings of the dissertation and suggests additional directions for future research by oral and linguistic historians, archaeologists, and anthropologists, all of whom can add important new dimensions to the history that Namibians will be writing and teaching their children. -- Ehret, Christopher -- PhD -- PDF 6.49Mb image-only PDF -- 109429 -- 19894 -- overview;comparative -- English [eng] -- 9780496518555 -- Africa -- 193 -- DAI-A 64/09, p. 3433, Mar 2004 -- HISTORY, AFRICAN (0331); LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS (0290) -- 3104287]

Roberts, Sarah J. (2005) The Emergence of Hawai'i Creole English in the Early 20th Century: the Sociohistorical Context of Creole Genesis. Stanford University doctoral dissertation. [roberts_20th2005.pdf roberts_hawaii-creole2005_o.pdf] [This dissertation examines the origins of Hawai'i Creole English (HCE), a language otherwise known to its speakers as “Pidgin” and one which now serves as a vernacular for most of Hawai'i's non-white population. HCE has figured prominently in debates on the genesis of creole languages. Derek Bickerton, in particular, claimed that HCE arose catastrophically in the speech of children who needed to learn the pidgin spoken by their parents to have a native language. According to Bickerton, an innate bioprogram expanded the inadequate pidgin into a fully natural language. Others have claimed that much of its structure was derived through contact with pre-existing pidgin and creole varieties or through influence from substrate and superstrate languages. With historical and documentary data gathered during several years of archival research, I reconstruct the linguistic development of HCE and its pidgin ancestor in their respective social contexts. The data reveal not only diachronic change in the copula, the tense-modality-aspect system, and other features, but also social differentiation in the use of such features. When the various linguistic changes are compared, they show that HCE arose around 1900–1910 and became fully established by the 1930s. I also discuss developments in the political economy, immigration and demography, and patterns of contact between ethnic groups, and examine the linguistic practice and social life of locally-born children throughout the period of creole development. Such contextualization is critical to an understanding of the social forces of creole formation. The evidence leads me to conclude that HCE took two generations to develop and was not acquired in L1 acquisition until the third generation. This is contrary to Bickerton's emphasis on L1 acquisition for second-generation children. I also question the emphasis placed on the plantation setting as a crucial context for HCE's formation and I show that the dichotomous comparison Bickerton made between the HPE and HCE of his informants was too stark. Nevertheless, this study also finds that Bickerton correctly surmised that locally-born children did play a critical role in development of HCE and that contact with other varieties was important for HPE but not HCE. -- Rickford, John R. -- PhD -- PDF 17.57Mb image-only PDF -- 117057 -- 98168 -- socling -- English [eng] -- 9780496138272 -- Hawaii Creole English [hwc] -- North America -- 360 -- DAI-A 65/11, p. 4179, May 2005 -- LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS (0290) -- 3153512]

Although the approach is mainly descriptive, important theoretical issues are also discussed. While to a greater extent the study is carried out within Lexical Phonology (Kiparsky (1982, 1985), Mohanan (1982), Booij and Rubach 1987 and other), other theoretical frameworks such as Autosegmental Phonology (Goldsmith 1976, 1990), Underspecification (Kiparsky 1985, Archangeli 1984, Pulleyblank 1986a, Archangeli and Pulleyblank 1986 and Inkelas 1995), CV Phonology and the Moraic theory (Hyman 1985 and Hayes 1989) are also exploited as the different types of data dealt with lend themselves to different types of analysis. Chapter 1 provides a general introduction to the study. Chapter 2 deals with a variety of issues such as the verb structure, description of affixes and ordering of prefixes while Chapter 3 provides an in depth study of suffix ordering. Chapter 4 and 5 unveil the intricate nature of Ndebele verbal morpho-phonology, with Chapter 4 focusing on root structure and processes such as coalescence, gliding and deletion which arise due to morpheme concatenation, and Chapter 5 on palatalization. Chapter 6 and 7 treat tone and reduplication, respectively. The study ends with a brief summary and discussion in Chapter 8. -- Hyman, Larry M. -- PhD -- PDF 13.48Mb image-only PDF -- 125811 -- 65607 -- grammar_sketch -- English [eng] -- 9780496053902 -- Ndebele [nde] -- Africa -- 370 -- DAI-A 65/09, p. 3364, Mar 2005 -- LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS (0290) -- 3147003]

Sonnenschein, Aaron Huey. (2004) A Descriptive Grammar of San Bartolome Zoogocho Zapotec. University of Southern California doctoral dissertation. [sonnenschein_zapotec2004_o.pdf sonnenschein_zoogocho2004.pdf] [In this dissertation, I provide a grammatical description of San Bartolomé Zoogocho Zapotec, an endangered Otomanguean language spoken in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca. The initial six chapters are concerned with providing a description of the major grammatical features of the language, while the final two examine two major current theoretical issues: parts-of-speech and word order. The first six chapters provide descriptions of the ethnographic and sociolinguistic situations of the Zoogocho Zapotec community, the sounds of the language, the pronominal system, the morphology, and the syntax of the language. While no particular theoretical framework is used, the inspiration for much of the description comes from the typological universal grammar research program. SBZZ (as I will refer to San Bartolomé Zoogocho Zapotec) is a tonal language which can be complex phonologically. It is an agglutinative, slightly fusional language. It is a prototypical VSO language having prepositions, NAdj, NDem, NGen, and NRel orders. Various means of combining clauses exist, including complementation, coordination, and relativization. Chapter Seven is an examination of the lexical classes present in SBZZ. While I try to define necessary and sufficient conditions for each lexical class, it can be difficult to find conditions which are both necessary and sufficient. I try to rely, therefore, on multiple definitions which, while informed by a variety of cross-linguistic data, are based on and presented by the SBZZ grammar. I devote much of the discussion to the grammaticalization of relational nouns, a topic which has received a great deal of discussion in the literature, both specifically for Zapotecan and Otomanguean languages and more generally. I conclude that relational nouns are a separate category from prepositions and regular nouns in SBZZ, while sharing characteristics with both. In Chapter Eight, I examine verb initial word order, place SBZZ in two typologies of verb initial languages, and compare a study of word order in two SBZZ texts with other textual studies of word order in verb initial languages. Chapter Eight also confirms a hypothesis about the processing of VSO languages which comes from the processing theory of John A. Hawkins. -- Hawkins, John A.; Comrie, Bernard -- PhD -- PDF 10.65Mb image-only PDF -- 128064 -- 52892 -- grammar -- English [eng] -- 9780496162840 -- Zoogocho Zapotec [zpq] -- North America -- 434 -- DAI-A 65/12, p. 4545, Jun 2005 -- LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS (0290) -- 3155481]

Wang, Shan-Shan. (2004) An Ergative View of Thao Syntax. University of Hawai'i at Manoa doctoral dissertation. [wang_thao2004.pdf wang_thao2004_o.pdf] [Previous works on Thao syntax, whether descriptive or theoretical, recognized the fundamental distinction drawn by Tsuchida (1976) between actor-focus (AF: -um-/m-verbs) and non-actor focus (NAF: -in/-an verbs, i.e., patient-focus, goal-focus, instrument-focus, etc.) verbs. However, they failed to recognize that the distinction between AF and NAF is actually one of transitivity: NAF verbs are syntactically transitive and AF verbs are syntactically intransitive. As a result, Thao has been analyzed as an accusative or split-ergative language. This study considers the notion of transitivity to be crucial to the determination of the actancy system of the language. Transitivity is considered to be a combination of the morphological, semantic and syntactic properties that a clause exhibits. This dissertation demonstrates that although there are two distinct dyadic clause patterns in Thao, only one of them (i.e., the major class of -in/-an verbs) is a canonical transitive construction and the other is an extended intransitive construction (i.e., m- verbs). Consequently, Thao turns out to be neither accusative, nor split-ergative, but exhibits a pure ergative system. The ergativity of Thao is manifested in its grammatical relation coding strategies such as word order and cross-referencing system, as well as in syntactic phenomena with respect to relativization, quantifier association, topicalization, nominalization, clefting, and coordination. A sketch of Thao grammar is also provided in this study. It includes predicational constructions, word order, and the pronominal system of Thao. The study suggests that a transitive verb may carry actor agreement forms, namely, the first and second person singular -k and - nu, the remnants of ergative clitic pronouns that probably existed in the prehistory of the language. In addition, different types of constructions are also examined such as dynamic agentless intransitives, imperative, existential, possessive, negative, causative constructions, and Wh-questions, with attention also being paid to some special classes of verbs. Finally the structure of noun phrases is looked into. The influence from Taiwanese appears to be obvious, particularly with reference to the neutralization of the distinction between the marking of relative clauses and genitive/possessive constructions. -- Reid, Lawrence A. -- thao1240 -- PhD -- PDF 13.61Mb image-only PDF -- 141614 -- 55915 -- grammar_sketch;specific_feature -- English [eng] -- 9780496771356 -- 39319 -- Thao [ssf] -- Papua -- False -- 389 -- DAI-A 65/04, p. 1349, Oct 2004 -- LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS (0290) -- 3129880]

Wesch, Sarah Louise. (2005) Factors Related To Appearance Satisfaction Among Women Native To the Mountain Ok Area of Papua New Guinea. The American University doctoral dissertation. [wesch_ok2004_o.pdf wesch_satisfaction2005.pdf] [Considerable emphasis has been placed on the role of Western culture in the development and maintenance of eating disorders and body dissatisfaction. Most of the research in this area has focused on the role of the thin beauty images promoted by Western media. However, there are other aspects of Western culture that could contribute to the development of these problems. In this study, the relationships between several aspects of Western cultural contact and body image satisfaction were explored. This was accomplished by comparing two groups of women with different levels of Western cultural contact (a mining town vs. a remote, rainforest village.) This sample was relatively unique, as women in the village had extremely limited contact with Western culture. For example, most women in the village had less than one year of formal education, had not seen television or read a fashion magazine. Data was collected on various aspects of body image satisfaction, including: skin color satisfaction, body size satisfaction, desire to change weight, desire to change height and other areas. Western cultural contact was operationalized as exposure to Western media (television, movies, magazines), Western-style education, and Christian religion. The majority of women, in women, in both areas, wanted to gain weight. Those with greater Western contact were less likely to admire obese body shapes and more likely to want to be taller. Those who wanted to be thinner and those who wanted to have longer, straighter hair had higher levels of Western contact. Contrary to expectations, it was those women with less Western cultural contact who were most likely to chose lighter skin colors as preferable. -- Ahrens, Anthony H. -- PhD -- PDF 5.45Mb image-only PDF -- 143097 -- 34819 -- ethnographic -- English [eng] -- 9780542289224 -- Papua -- 119 -- DAI-B 66/09, p. 5110, Mar 2006 -- PSYCHOLOGY, CLINICAL (0622); PSYCHOLOGY, SOCIAL (0451); ANTHROPOLOGY, CULTURAL (0326); WOMEN'S STUDIES (0453) -- 3187220]

[willett_nxaamxcin2003.pdf willett_nxaamxcin2003_o.pdf] [This dissertation is the first grammatical sketch of the Nxa'amxcin (Moses-Columbian) language. Nxa'amxcin is an endangered member of the Southern Interior branch of the Salish language family, a linguistic group indigenous to the Pacific Northwest region of North America. Building on previous work by other Salish linguists, I address to varying degrees all three major aspects of the grammar (phonology, syntax and morphology) from a Lexeme-Morpheme Base Morphology approach to word formation (Beard 1995). A brief introduction to the phonology of Nxa'amxcin provides a look at the segment inventory, the status of schwa, various segmental processes, and syllable structure. An overview of the syntax focuses on aspects of the noun phrase—determiners, demonstratives, locative prepositions, genitive marking-and the major clause types—simple clauses, relative clauses and fronting. An extensive discussion of lexical operations (derivational morphology) addresses the categories of valence, voice, secondary aspect, control, category-changing operations, and operations marking locative, augmentative, diminutive and relational. An overview of inflectional operations (inflectional morphology) is presented starting with the marking of person, number and grammatical relation on the predicate. Viewpoint aspect, mood, temporal marking, negation, non-declarative operations—yes/no questions, imperative, prohibitive—and nominalization are also discussed. A description of the three different types of compounds found in Nxa'amxcin—two involving free stems and the third (known as lexical affixation) comprising a free stem and a bound stem—is provided along with the corresponding word structure rules responsible for these compounds. A number of arguments in support of a compounding analysis of bound stem constructions (lexical affixation), as opposed to a syntactic analysis, are presented. The set of classifiers that has developed from lexical affixation is also addressed. -- Saxon, Leslie; Czaykowska-Higgins, Ewa -- PhD -- PDF 17.86Mb image-only PDF -- 144424 -- 24675 -- grammar -- English [eng] -- 9780612852082 -- Columbia-Wenatchi [col] -- North America -- 466 -- DAI-A 64/10, p. 3669, Apr 2004 -- LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS (0290) -- NQ85208]

Wilson, Janet E. (2003) Transparency and Spreading of Tense, Aspect, and Mood in Kuche Narrative Discourse. The University of Texas at Arlington doctoral dissertation. [wilson_transparency2003.pdf wilson_kuche-tma2003_o.pdf wilson_kuche2003_o.pdf] [Though clauses of Kuche can be grammatically marked—usually by verb prefixes or auxiliary verbs—for tense and/or aspect and/or mood (TAM), in discourse, very few clauses are actually marked for these categories. Instead, TAM is often marked only once in a stretch of text and is assumed to apply to every subsequent clause up to a delimiting construction. This paper describes how certain grammatical indicators of TAM are used in Kuche narrative discourse. Four chapters of an oral history and one folk tale are tabulated for the frequency of various TAM markings and interpretations. Number grids and bar graphs indicate how the grammatical markings correlate with the interpretations. The tabulation reveals that most clauses in the narratives are totally unmarked for TAM, but these unmarked clauses are not interpreted uniformly. In narratives that begin with several clauses marked Perfective (by the verbal prefix nì-), most clauses are interpreted as past perfective. In narratives that begin with Perfective marked clauses (nì-) and Habitual marked clauses (verb prefix tá-), most clauses are interpreted as past habitual. Clauses of conversation and story dialog are tabulated in a similar fashion and compared, on the one hand, with past perfective narratives and, on the other hand, with past habitual narratives. Three distinct patterns of use are observed. A formal model for interpreting the TAM of Kuche clauses in narrative is developed based on the five tabulated narratives plus five other texts previously recorded and analyzed for other papers. In simple terms, clauses of a narrative are like transparent layers of TAM meaning, allowing the interpretation of early (marked) clauses to show through. Some of the layers add further meaning, some add zero meaning, but most do not obscure the TAM indicated earlier in the text. -- Longacre, Robert E. -- PhD -- PDF 29.35Mb image-only PDF -- 144969 -- 161313 -- specific_feature -- English [eng] -- 9780496650088 -- Che [ruk] -- Africa -- 430 -- DAI-A 64/12, p. 4445, Jun 2004 -- LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS (0290); LITERATURE, AFRICAN (0316) -- 3117584]

Yang, Tongyin. (2004) Aspects of the Kam Language, As Revealed in Its Narrative Discourse. The University of Texas at Arlington doctoral dissertation. [yang_kam2004_o.pdf yang_revealed2004.pdf] [Discourse analysis has long been understudied in Kam. This research aims to initiate the exploration of this new field by examining various aspects of Kam narrative discourse and reveal its structural properties through a functional approach within Schiffrin's discourse model. A new found morpheme /e/ leads to discussion of phonological and syntactic variations from discourse perspective. The reduction of components in rhymes in directional verbs is related to not only semantic manifestation, but more importantly, to the building-up of narrative discourse. The classifier variants in the types CLSa and CLSb encode number difference, though not identical to numbers in Indo-European languages. The analysis of pronoun modifiers of kinship terms in discourse demonstrates how historical and cultural factors have been absorbed into and represented in language. The issue of word order variations is also considered within discourse. The mysterious sentence-final particles (SFPs) in Kam and other Asian languages occupies a section in which their phonological and syntactic features are examined, and the inventory of collected SFPs in published Kam linguistic data emerges. After grouping them into three different categories, the study considers both semantic and discourse functions of each individual SFP. The discussion of Kam narrative structure under Labov's model demonstrates that the storytelling setting influences the structure of the produced narration itself. The integration of the complication and evaluation is a result of storytelling being an act of public education as well as of entertainment. Furthermore, discourse grammatical characteristics of the narrative, such as repetition, are presented. The unique communicational aspect of Kam 'monologue' narrative leads to the discussion of social interaction, and social power in narrating. A prominent communication operator liax specifically showcases how a single linguistic unit functions at various levels of discourse structure. -- Edmondson, Jerold A. -- PhD -- PDF 11.24Mb image-only PDF -- 146715 -- 113439 -- grammar_sketch -- English [eng] -- 9780496042944 -- Kam standard of Rongjiang Zhanglu-Guizhou = Dong-Northern [doc] -- Eurasia -- 290 -- DAI-A 65/09, p. 3365, Mar 2005 -- LANGUAGE, LINGUISTICS (0290); ANTHROPOLOGY, CULTURAL (0326) -- 3145839]

Younker, Jason T. (2003) Coquille/Ko'kwel, A Southern Oregon Coast Indian Tribe: Revisiting History, Ingenuity, and Identity. University of Oregon doctoral dissertation. [younker_kwel2003.pdf younker_coquille2003_o.pdf] [The history, ingenuity, and identity of indigenous peoples from the southern Oregon Coast dates back at least 13,000 years, about 1,000 generations. Europeans arrived in this region in the late 18th century, bringing foreign diseases that decimated many Native peoples. Survivors were displaced or forcibly moved to locations away from their traditional homelands. Over time, many Natives returned home, where they are restoring and revitalizing their cultural traditions. This dissertation explains the processes of survival for one Oregon Coast Indian tribe, the Coquille Indian Tribe, revealing history from their perspective and describing their contemporary revitalization efforts. Many aspects of the Coquille Indian Tribe's history and ingenuity on the Oregon Coast have been documented from the late 18th century to the 1980s. Much of this scholarship focused on traditional languages, discrete tribal boundaries, items of material culture, myth texts, and archaeological remains, with a narrow view on the Coquille's distant “pre-contact” past. This ignored important social and geographical contexts, disenfranchising the living from the human aspects of the past. My study focuses on living people and the stories we tell, demonstrating the ingenuity, creativity, resiliency, and strength evident in our contemporary values and practices. I reintroduce a living human aspect to Coquille ethnography, demonstrating that contemporary tribal people possess great awareness and respect for their history, and showing that there has been continuity from past generations to the present. I stress the importance of contemporary ethnography: what is collected today will someday be the focus of future scholarship seeking to understand how Native behaviors and technologies have adapted to changing social and geographical environments. I present not just what others have said about the Coquille, but also what some contemporary Coquille recall about their tribal history and ingenuity. Many of these collections, past and present, have been used in contemporary revitalization efforts by the Coquille Indian Tribe. My indigenous-derived and contextualized field methods can serve as a model for future ethnographies conducted among Native populations.
