Tree And String Analysis Of A Copala Trique Sentence, Bruce E. Hollenbach, David D. Thomas

Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session

From the introduction: "This paper is simply a presentation of two analyses of the same Copala Trique sentence. The first analysis is done by David Thomas and represents a string analysis, with a distinction between deep structure and surface structure. The second analysis is done by Bruce Hollenbach and represents a tree analysis done from the point of view of generative semantics. We hope that this presentation may be useful to those who might be interested in comparing and contrasting these two analytical techniques."

Mamanwa Paragraphs, Helen W. Miller, Jeanne Miller

Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session

From the introduction: "This paper describes the five contrastive paragraph types in Mamanwa. The five semantic categories of paragraphs are Narrative, Procedural, Explanatory, Hortatory, and Dialogue. Form categories on the paragraph level, as on the sentence level, are simple, antithetical, coordinate, and parallel.

"The five semantic categories contrast structurally in (1) the kinds of tagmemes which compose the nucleus of each paragraph type, (2) the kinds of focus and aspect affixes on the verbs in the nucleus, particularly in Narrative versus Procedural paragraphs, (3) the kinds of mode affixes on the verbs, and the kinds of personal pronouns in the …

A Communications Model Of Culture Contact, James A. Yost

Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session

From the introduction: "Most anthropologists currently involved in the study of culture contact recognize the importance of adequate communication for successful transmission of ideas or traits. Some, such as Niehoff, have made explicit the importance they feel it has: "Communication by the innovator is probably the single most important kind of action in which he will engage, since it is a prerequisite for everything else that follows. No ideas or techniques can be transferred from one person to another unless there are channels of communication established to transfer them, and these are the patterns of communication. If no adequate patterns …

A Method For Surveying Literacy In Minority Languages In Mexico, Steven T. Egland

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to develop a testing method for surveying the literacy needs of minority language groups in Mexico. The tests were designed to determine the approximate percentage of adults in a given Mexican Indian town who can read and write in Spanish and in their own Indian language. The reading tests allowed subjects to be classified according to their abilities.

The tests were intended to improve on some previous studies of literacy in minority language groups outside of the United States. As the tests designed by this investigator were used in three language groups of Mexico …

Fort Berthold Indian Reservation: A Land Use Study To 1971, Paul Felter

Theses and Dissertations

Can the land resources of a contemporary Indian reservation provide the basis for a self~sufficient community? To help answer that question, this study traces the agricultural development as well as other land use programs and problems of the Three Tribes of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota.

The procedure involved a detailed study of the impact of Bureau of Indian Affairs-inspired agricultural projects, treaties and land cession agreements, land allotment programs, land fractionalization, and the building of the Garrison Dam. The results obtained show that the semi-agricultural Three Tribes passed from self-sufficiency before their reservation was established into …

Cheyenne Vowel Devoicing And Transderivational Constraints, Richard Rhodes

Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session

From the introduction: "This brief paper is largely an exercise in lily-gilding, building upon Frantz's insightful analysis of Cheyenne phonology. What I will attempt to do in this paper is to rework some of his rules relating to the devoicing of vowels and raise some questions as to whether these rules confirm the need for a controversial device in the theory of grammar."

The Lakota Verb, Christopher Smeall

Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session

From the introduction: "Here I offer a set of ordered rules which attempt to define the set of possible predicates in Lakota, while characterizing the linguistic competence of the native speaker. I also list some of the affixes, go through some derivations, and conclude with some remarks on one of the instrumental prefixes."
