University of Manitoba, 2022. — 170 p. In Algonquian languages, there are two subclasses of verbs whose syntactic transitivity is at odds with their morphological transitivity: AI+O and TI-O.

Опубликовано в: Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics. — V. 27. — 2004. — pp. 124–138. Berman (1982) proposed a loss of vowel length as one of two apparent phonological innovations shared by Wiyot and Yurok, but not Algonquian, implying a Ritwan subgrouping within Algic. However, once the Yurok reflexes of Proto Algic vowels are better understood, it is evident that the loss of...
Опубликовано в: International Journal of American Linguistics, Vol. 50, No. 2 (Apr., 1984), pp. 165-207. Algonqian-Wiyot-Yurok is one of the more distant genetic relationships regarded as definitely established by adherents of the "splitting" tradition of historical Amerindian linguistics (Campbell and Mithun 1979:37-40).1 Indeed, from 1913-when Sapir first proposed it-until 1958...
Опубликовано в: International Journal of American Linguistics, Vol. 51, No. 1 (Jan., 1985), pp. 59-93.

In particular, I...

Опубликовано в: Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics, Volume 17, Number 2, 1992. — pp. 11-57. In Proto-Algic, a primary noun stem often ends in a derivational final, a secondary one in a nominalizer. Both usually resemble demonstrative pronouns in shape. A dependent noun stem lacks a root, and generally begins in **i:, **o:, or in a consonant other than **2 or **k(w). In those...
Опубликовано в: Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics, v19. — 1994. — n2. — pp. 115-182. Accumulating evidence suggests that a recalcitrant problem first addressed by Howard Berman - how to explain an apparent correspondence among PA *t, W t, and Y ? - is best solved by reconstructing Proto-Algic doublets. These doublets suggest dialect mixing before the breakup of Proto-Algic...
Опубликовано в: Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics. — V. 15.— n. 2.— 1990. — pp. 100–145. Proto-Algonquian had 6 or 7 orders (morphological types) of verbs. The potential order had three modes, the subordinative two, and, by one interpretation, the conjunct had four. By another, all conjuncts are participles in the protolanguage. Evidentials include an attestive, suppositive,...

University of Toronto, 2012. — 299 p. This thesis explores the structure of the verb stem in Ojicree, a dialect of Ojibwe. I argue that the surface complexity of the stem structure in this language can be explained if we distinguish between two types of roots: strong roots and weak roots. Strong roots combine with a verbal head to build a full stem. I call these simple stems....
