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

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 …

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."

The Development Of Tai Register Patterns, Jay Fippinger

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

From the introduction, "In this paper, we shall first summarize the findings of several scholars who have contributed to recent literature describing the history of tone in the Tai languages; we shall then focus on one problem that, to my knowledge, has not yet received sufficient attention: namely the reasons for widely divergent patterns of register development, in view of evidence for consonant-pitch correlation which might lead us to expect greater uniformity within the language family."

Vietnamese, Register And Tongue-Root Position, Charles Keller

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

From the introduction: "The main body of this paper is concerned with drawing a parallel between Khmer and Vietnamese. We will endeavor to show the possibility of applying the tongue-root hypothesis to Vietnamese as it is already being applied to Khmer. (This hypothesis explains the grouping of certain phonological features in terms of historic advanced or retracted tongue-root position.) To do this we will be referring to "exponents of advanced (or "retracted" as the case may be) tongue-root position. An exponent is a co-occurring phonological phenomenon which may be considered as dependent on the occurrance of another phenomenon, the independent …
