Boudreault, Lynda (University of Hawai'i Press, 2010-05)

Sierra Popoluca (SP) is a Mixe-Zoquean language, spoken by about 28,000 individuals in southern Veracruz, Mexico. The objectives of this paper are (1) to explore the structures of dependent verb constructions in SP and the ...
Chapter 1. Introduction: The Boasian tradition and contemporary practice in linguistic fieldwork in the Americas

Rosenblum, Daisy; Berez, Andrea L. (University of Hawai'i Press, 2010-05)
Chapter 2. Sociopragmatic influences on the development and use of the discourse marker vet in Ixil Maya

Gómez de García, Jule; Axelrod, Melissa; Luz García, María (University of Hawai'i Press, 2010-05)

In this paper we explore the functions of the particle vet in Ixil Mayan and argue that it is a discourse marker used to perform both structural and pragmatic functions. Vet serves as a structural marker indicating temporally ...
Chapter 3. Classifying clitics in Sm'algyax: Approaching theory from the field

Mulder, Jean; Sellers, Holly (University of Hawai'i Press, 2010-05)

Sm’algyax (British Columbia and Alaska) is a highly ergative VAO/VS language with an uncommonly wide range of clitics. This chapter has the two-fold function of demonstrating how Anderson’s (2005) constraint-based analysis ...
Chapter 4. Noun class and number in Kiowa-Tanoan: Comparative-historical research and respecting speakers' rights in fieldwork

Sutton, Logan (University of Hawai'i Press, 2010-05)

The Kiowa-Tanoan family is known to linguists by two characteristic features: a) a package of complex morphosyntactic structures that includes a typologically marked noun class and number marking system and b) the paucity ...
Chapter 5. The story of *ô in the Cariban Family

Gildea, Spike; Hoff, B. J.; Meira, Sérgio (University of Hawai'i Press, 2010-05)

This paper argues for the reconstruction of an unrounded mid central/back vowel *ô to Proto-Cariban. Recent comparative studies of the Cariban family encounter a consistent correspondence of ə : o : ɨ : e, tentatively ...
Chapter 6. Multiple Functions, multiple techniques: The role of methodology in a study of Zapotec determiners

Fenton, Donna (University of Hawai'i Press, 2010-05)

Field linguists use a combination of techniques to compile a grammatical description, starting with various types of targeted elicitation and followed by the study of more natural speech in the form of recorded texts. These ...
Chapter 7. Middles and reflexives in Yucatec Maya: Trusting speaker intuition

Martínez Corripio, Israel; Maldonado, Ricardo (University of Hawai'i Press, 2010-05)

In this paper we provide a characterization of the middle construction in YM, and show that the apparently unpredictable distribution of middle voice in YM corresponds to a neatly identified, and quite limited, system of ...
Chapter 8. Studying Dena'ina discourse markers: Evidence from elicitation and narrative

Lovick, Olga Charlotte (University of Hawai'i Press, 2010-05)

This paper is concerned with discourse markers in Dena’ina Athabascan. One problem for transcribers and translators of Dena’ina texts is the great number of particles (i.e., words that cannot be inflected) that, according ...

Jaker, Alessandro (University of Hawai'i Press, 2010-05)
