  • Coordination and Related Constructions in Omaha-Ponca and in Siouan Languages Catherine Rudin
    Chapter 15 Coordination and related constructions in Omaha-Ponca and in Siouan languages Catherine Rudin Syntactic constructions expressing semantic coordination vary widely across the Siouan language family. A case study of possible coordinating conjunctions in Omaha-Ponca demonstrates that distinguishing coordination from other means of expressing ‘and’ relations is a non-trivial problem. A survey of words translated as ‘and,’ ‘or,’ or ‘but’ in Siouan languages leads to the conclusion that neither co- ordinating conjunctions nor the syntactic structures containing them are recon- structable across the Siouan family. It is likely that Proto-Siouan lacked syntactic coordination. 1 Introduction All languages have ways of expressing additive, disjunctive, and adversative rela- tions among entities or propositions. In European languages these relations are expressed by two distinct syntactic means: coordination and subordination. In Siouan languages these two types of conjunction construction are also present, but the distinction between them is less robust and less clear; coordination may not have existed at all historically. Neither coordinating conjunctions (‘and,’ ‘or,’ ‘but’) nor the syntactic structures containing them are reconstructable across the Siouan family. I begin this examination of coordination in Siouan by defining coordination and discussing some of the issues involved in distinguishing coordinate from subordinate conjunction (§2). This is followed in§3 by a case study of additive coordination and coordinate-like constructions in Omaha-Ponca, the Siouan lan- guage with which I am most familiar. §4 is a survey of available data on coor- dination across all branches and most of the languages in the Siouan language family, with a summary table.

    The Southern Algonquians and Their Neighbours DAVID H. PENTLAND University of Manitoba INTRODUCTION At least fifty named Indian groups are known to have lived in the area south of the Mason-Dixon line and north of the Creek and the other Muskogean tribes. The exact number and the specific names vary from one source to another, but all agree that there were many different tribes in Maryland, Virginia and the Carolinas during the colonial period. Most also agree that these fifty or more tribes all spoke languages that can be assigned to just three language families: Algonquian, Iroquoian, and Siouan. In the case of a few favoured groups there is little room for debate. It is certain that the Powhatan spoke an Algonquian language, that the Tuscarora and Cherokee are Iroquoians, and that the Catawba speak a Siouan language. In other cases the linguistic material cannot be positively linked to one particular political group. There are several vocabularies of an Algonquian language that are labelled Nanticoke, but Ives Goddard (1978:73) has pointed out that Murray collected his "Nanticoke" vocabulary at the Choptank village on the Eastern Shore, and Heckeweld- er's vocabularies were collected from refugees living in Ontario. Should the language be called Nanticoke, Choptank, or something else? And if it is Nanticoke, did the Choptank speak the same language, a different dialect, a different Algonquian language, or some completely unrelated language? The basic problem, of course, is the lack of reliable linguistic data from most of this region. But there are additional complications. It is known that some Indians were bilingual or multilingual (cf.

Basal Bilingual Readers. Hays, MT: Hays/Lodge Pole Schools, 1988. Illustrated in black and white by Hank Chopwood, Frank Cuts the Rope, and Mike Brokie. Essential Understandings #1, #2, #3, #6 Grades K and up Summaries: Allen welcomes both Native and non-Native teachers and students to use these little books. Most represent traditional stories told by elders, but some are based on historical events. Although they are Basal Readers for teaching the Assiniboine and Gros Ventre languages at the Primary level, even Secondary students can appreciate the themes, conflicts, and traditions which they portray. When a Native first-grade teacher on the Ft. Peck Reservation used these books, she read the story in Assiniboine and then explained to her Sioux students that this language represents the Nakota dialect of the language their people speak. The students enjoyed hearing and reading the stories themselves, and then they participated in discussion and drawing activities developed from the suggested themes. -----. “Bandit the Racoon.” (Assiniboine) This story may be used at all levels to teach about the problems individuals experience when they live in one culture and misunderstand the rules of the alien culture. It also may be used to teach about the way individuals are judged by their appearance.

    I Legends of the tribe, Forth-into-the-Great-Sea-Water LEGEND ONE T was autumn 1919 and the leaves of the maples were red and yellow along the streams. A tribe destined to be called Forth- into-the-Great-Sea-Water came to the camping ground of the Delawares. One of the three tribes greeting them looked upon them with scorn. The new tribe must prove itself worthy to dwell on the camping ground. The scornful ones inflicted many tortures to test their bravery. One dark night they painted black the faces of the helpless maidens. They gave them many unkinId words. They made them wear ivory rattles about their necks. But before many suns had set the strangers acquired merit in the eyes of the scornful. * And the friendly ones were proud of the progress of the young tribe. One time before the sun rose to drive away the mists of the night, the maidens of Forth-into-the-Great-Sea-Water stole forth from their wigwams. They raised their banner bearing the mystic figures, '23, to the top of a tall pole. The scornful ones became more displeased. They tried many times to lower the hated banner of their enemy. When they could not succeed their anger increased. At last they called friendly braves down the trail to help them. One night the maidens who wore the rattles dressed as braves. They bade the other tribes to the Great Lodge for a night of dancing. Although this new tribe had now acquired much wisdom, it needed counsel.
