Demonstratives In Nsélišcn ‘Montana Salish’, Aspen A. Decker
Demonstratives In Nsélišcn ‘Montana Salish’, Aspen A. Decker
Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers
This thesis presents a detailed analysis of the Nsélišcn ‘Montana Salish’ demonstrative system. I propose that there are three features encoded in the demonstratives that I examined in this thesis: (i) proximity of the speaker in relation to the referent, (ii) common ground between the speaker and addressee, and (iii) visibility of the referent. I further propose that the Nsélišcn demonstrative system distinguishes three degrees of proximity: proximal, medial, and distal. Nsélišcn is a member of the Southern Interior branch of the Salishan language family. The data analyzed in this thesis was collected from native Nsélišcn speakers.
