By Nicole Rosen a Thesis Submitted in Conformity with the Requirements For DOMAINS IN MICHIF PHONOLOGY by Nicole Rosen A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Linguistics University of Toronto © Copyright by Nicole Rosen 2007 ii Domains in Michif Phonology Nicole Rosen Doctor of Philosophy 2007 Department of Linguistics University of Toronto Michif is an under-described contact language spoken by a few hundred Métis people, mostly in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. It has two principal source languages: Plains Cree and French and has generally been analyzed as having two co-phonologies: French phonology applying to the French-source lexical items and Cree phonology applying to the Cree-source lexical items (Rhodes 1986, Bakker 1997, Bakker & Papen 1997, Papen 2003. This thesis serves a dual role in the study of Michif. First, it offers the first systematic description of phonological distribution and patterning including segmental inventories, stress assignment and syllabification, as well as a sketch of Michif morphology and morphological categories. Second, it argues that Michif need not be analyzed as stratifying its lexical components according to historical source. Lexicon stratification of this type, according to historical language source, has also been posited for languages such as Japanese (Itô & Mester 1997, 2001, 2005) and English (Kiparsky 1982) to account for synchronic differences in patterning of different lexical items. However distributional differences in Michif are argued not to be sufficient for positing a stratified lexicon, and it is argued in this thesis that previously claimed synchronic patterning either relies on diachronic data as input to synchronic rules, or else the patterning itself is no longer productive in Michif, or different phonemicization accounts for patterning differences. Two case studies in Michif patterning, stress assignment and -deletion, are shown to be predictable and systematic with no differences in patterning with regards to historical language source. Given these facts, I argue that lexicon stratification in Michif is unwarranted. Although historical source domains do not play a role in synchronic iii Michif, prosodic domains are shown to have different phonological inventories and to pattern differently with respect to phonological processes such as syllabification and stress assignment. Michif affixes and minor categories are shown pattern differently, but this is based on regular synchronic patterning of linguistic, rather than historical, criteria. iv Acknowledgements Graduate school and this dissertation have been a huge part of my life in the last several years, and it’s hard to know where to start in thanking people who helped along the way for fear of leaving someone out. Here goes. First I’d like to thank the people who led me to this path: Hitay Yükseker, my first instructor at Queen’s University, who opened me up to the world of linguistics and encouraged me to pursue graduate work at the University of Toronto. I’d also like to thank the French linguistics section at the U of T, for welcoming me and exposing me to the field of Romance linguistics that I draw on in my work, but also for encouraging me to transfer departments even though it meant they were losing a student. I found out about this mysterious Michif language while in the French department, through research on North American French with Yves Roberge and a French in Contact course with Anne-Marie Brousseau, and for that I am eternally grateful. I don’t think I can get across how lucky I feel to have been part of the Linguistics department at the University of Toronto. It is a truly special place; one where students and faculty alike are dedicated, active, caring, and fun. I’d like to thank in particular Alana Johns, Jack Chambers, Diane Massam, Arsalan, Wenckje, Susana, Carrie, Abdel, Carolyn, Chiara, Milan, Manami, Christine, Suzanne and Alexei for being sources of inspiration and for making the department a brighter place at some point while I was there simply by being part of it. While I’m thanking people for brightening up my life, I would remiss in not mentioning Katreena & Jenn, my two good friends, grad school sounding boards and inspirations in how thesis-writing should be done: quickly. Also Jodi, for helping out with childcare in my final thesis writing and defending year. You and our G&T Fridays made things so much easier. I spent two beneficial periods while thesis-writing away from Toronto. I would like to thank the Institute for the Humanities of the University of Manitoba for allowing me closer v access to my research, and Shana Poplack at the University of Ottawa for showing me a different approach to language variation contact. My time in Ottawa has influenced this thesis and my approach to linguistics, generally, and for that I am grateful. A number of people have helped with the thesis in particular. I’d like to thank Manami Hirayama particularly for her help with the phonetic and Japanese parts in the thesis, as well as Ron Smyth for help with statistics (or lack thereof). Peter Bakker, despite our differing views of Michif, has always been supportive of my work and inspirational in his. Both Emmanuel Nikiema and Elan Dresher gave me extremely helpful comments on previous versions of my thesis, allowing me to improve the final product. Thank you for your time. Of course I cannot thank my consultants enough: Norman Fleury, the first Michif speaker I ever met, and who consulted with me regularly over the years; Rita Flamand, who met and emailed me so diligently when I needed help; and Grace Zoldy, a wonderful speaker and proponent of the Michif language. I would be nowhere without these three people and I am so glad they agree to share their knowledge with me. Likewise, Heather Souter has pushed me to learn more about the Michif people and language and has been a source of inspiration, as she lives and learns the Michif language. I feel so fortunate to have been welcomed into the Manitoba Métis Federation and greater Métis community, and I hope to be able to return their generosity. I and my thesis have benefited from having the best advisor and external appraiser a PhD candidate could ask for. Though he was involved only after the thesis was submitted, Rich Rhodes played a huge role in the final version found here. He spent an unknown number of hours going over the fine details of my data, teaching me a lot about Michif and attention to detail along the way. Words cannot express my gratitude for the attention he has given my work. Similarly, there are no mere words to describe my advisor and mentor Keren Rice, and I will not do her a disservice by trying to describe her. She is, simply put, the most impressive vi person I know, and my inspiration in all things academic. Everyone should be so lucky to have an advisor like Keren, but since not everyone can, I’m glad I was. Keren, I will never be able to thank you enough. I’d like to thank my family for their support, in particular my mother for her intellectual curiosity, and my father for his sense of humour. Both have proven invaluable throughout the years. And finally, I need to thank my new family for constant inspiration: Dave, the love of my life, whom I met while in grad school, for putting up with hearing ‘I’m almost finished’ more times than either of us can count, not to mention moving all over the country with me, and Oscar, for being my other labour of love. You both make my life better just by being in it. vii Table of Contents Introduction .......................................................................................................................1 1.1 Introduction to the Michif language .............................................................................. 1 1.1.1 The Métis people and the creation of Michif......................................................... 1 1.1.2 Terminology .......................................................................................................... 2 1.1.3 Status of Michif today ........................................................................................... 3 1.2 Contact languages.......................................................................................................... 4 1.2.1 Types of contact languages.................................................................................... 4 1.2.2 Contact languages as an object of study................................................................ 6 1.2.3 Conflict sites.......................................................................................................... 7 1.3 Previous work on Michif ............................................................................................... 8 1.4 The data......................................................................................................................... 9 1.4.1 Elicited data........................................................................................................... 9 1.4.2 Recordings ........................................................................................................... 10 1.4.3 Limits of the data................................................................................................. 10 1.5 A preview of the thesis ................................................................................................ 11 1.5.1 Potential inventorial evidence.............................................................................. 11 1.5.2 Potential evidence from stress

  • Indigenous Languages
    INDIGENOUS LANGUAGES PRE-TEACH/PRE-ACTIVITY Have students look at the Indigenous languages and/or language groups that are displayed on the map. Discuss where this data came from (the 2016 census) and what biases or problems this data may have, such as the fear of self-identifying based on historical reasons or current gaps in data. Take some time to look at how censuses are performed, who participates in them, and what they can learn from the data that is and is not collected. Refer to the online and poster map of Indigenous Languages in Canada featured in the 2017 November/December issue of Canadian Geographic, and explore how students feel about the number of speakers each language has and what the current data means for the people who speak each language. Additionally, look at the language families listed and the names of each language used by the federal government in collecting this data. Discuss with students why these may not be the correct names and how they can help in the reconciliation process by using the correct language names. LEARNING OUTCOMES: • Students will learn about the number and • Students will learn about the importance of diversity of languages and language groups language and the ties it has to culture. spoken by Indigenous Peoples in Canada. • Students will become engaged in learning a • Students will learn that Indigenous Peoples local Indigenous language. in Canada speak many languages and that some languages are endangered.

  • Convergence and Divergence in Language Contact Situations
    Sonderforschungsbereich Mehrsprachigkeit International Colloquium on Convergence and Divergence in Language Contact Situations 18–20 October 2007 University of Hamburg Research Centre on Multilingualism Welcome On behalf of our Research Centre on Multilingualism (Sonderforschungsbereich Mehrsprachigkeit), generously supported by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) and the University of Hamburg, we would like to welcome you all here in Hamburg. This colloquium deals with issues related to convergence and divergence in language contact situations, issues which had been rather neglected in the past but have received much more attention in recent years. Five speakers from different countries have kindly accepted our invitation to share their expertise with us by presenting their research related to the theme of this colloquium. (One colleague from the US fell seriously ill and deeply regrets not being able to join us. Unfortunately, another invited speak- er cancelled his talk only two weeks ago.) All the other presentations are re- ports from ongoing work in the (now altogether 18) research projects in our centre. We hope that the three conference days will be informative and stimulating for all of us, and that the colloquium will be remembered for both its friendly atmosphere and its lively, controversial discussions. The organising commit- tee has done its best to ensure that this meeting with renowned colleagues from abroad will be a good place to make new friends or reinforce long-stand- ing professional contacts. There will be many opportunities for doing that – during the coffee breaks and especially during the conference dinner at an ex- cellent French restaurant on Thursday evening.

  • Orientations to French Language Varieties Among Western Canadian French-As-A-Second- Language Teachers
    Meike Wernicke The University of British Columbia ORIENTATIONS TO FRENCH LANGUAGE VARIETIES AMONG WESTERN CANADIAN FRENCH-AS-A-SECOND- LANGUAGE TEACHERS Abstract: In Canada, official French-English bilingualism and the long-standing presence of Indigenous and immigrant languages has shaped how these languages and their varieties are learned, taught, and used in educational contexts. To date, there has been little inquiry into French-as-a-second-language (FSL) teachers’ orientations to the varieties of French they teach, in particular Canadian French language varieties (Arnott, Masson, and Lapkin 2019), despite studies showing that ideologies associated with different language varieties can impact teachers’ instructional choices. This article presents an analysis of the narrated experiences of FSL teachers from Western Canada, drawn from journal and interview accounts, about their encounters with different language varieties while on professional development in France. Thematic and discourse analytic perspectives bring to light complex negotiations of ideological meaning and representation related to language variation in French, as well as the discursive strategies employed by the participants in orientating to these meanings. These discursive actions make evident deeply embedded language ideologies that have significant implications for both French as a first and as a second language education, not only in terms of a prevailing linguistic insecurity among francophones but equally significant for FSL teachers’ professional identity construction, especially those who are themselves second language speakers of French. The analysis and discussion highlight the importance of integrating pluralistic perspectives into teacher education programs and ongoing teacher professional development initiatives. Keywords: French language education w Canadian French w linguistic insecurity w standardized language w language ideology Wernicke, Meike.

    The Michif Dictionary and Language Change in Métchif RICHARD A. RHODES University of California, Berkeley When Métchif ¿rst came to the attention of the outside world in 1972, the late John Crawford, a linguist in the English Department at the University of North Dakota, began working on it intensively, concentrating mostly on the speech community on the Turtle Mountain Reservation. In 1974 the Summer Institute of Linguistics/North Dakota program began using Turtle Mountain Métchif as the ¿eld language for students. This continued until 1986. During that time a large repository of basic Métchif data was accu- mulated, most of it of excellent quality, collected not only by students but also by instructors, all experienced ¿eldworkers. In the same time frame, Crawford set up a dictionary project in which he identi¿ed two of the better speakers from Turtle Mountain and tasked them with creating the diction- ary with only minimal outside help. The result was Laverdure and Allard (1983) The Michif Dictionary: Turtle Mountain Chippewa Cree, the most widely available piece of documentation on Métchif. (A full discussion of the process can be found in Crawford’s introduction.) While Laverdure and Allard (1983) is very valuable, there are a number of crucial weaknesses in it that are not discernable in the absence of independent elicitation. These weaknesses arose because Crawford wanted the dictionary proj- ect to be community based. He gave the native speakers an operational framework and worked out an orthography with them, based on his under- standing of the Métchif sound system and using mostly English spelling conventions.

  • French Creole
    Comparative perspectives on the origins, development and structure of Amazonian (Karipúna) French Creole Jo-Anne S. Ferreira UWI, St. Augustine/SIL International Mervyn C. Alleyne UWI, Mona/UPR, Río Piedras Together known as Kheuól, Karipúna French Creole (KFC) and Galibi-Marwono French Creole (GMFC) are two varieties of Amazonian French Creole (AFC) spoken in the Uaçá area of northern Amapá in Brazil. Th ey are socio-historically and linguistically connected with and considered to be varieties of Guianese French Creole (GFC). Th is paper focuses on the external history of the Brazilian varieties, and compares a selection of linguistic forms across AFC with those of GFC and Antillean varieties, including nasalised vowels, the personal pronouns and the verbal markers. St. Lucian was chosen as representative of the Antillean French creoles of the South-Eastern Caribbean, including Martinique and Trinidad, whose populations have had a history of contact with those of northern Brazil since the sixteenth century. Data have been collected from both fi eld research and archival research into secondary sources. Introduction Th is study focuses on a group of languages/dialects which are spoken in Brazil, French Guiana and the Lesser Antilles, and to a lesser extent on others spoken in other parts of the Americas (as well as in the Indian Ocean). Th is linguistic group is variously referred to as Creole French, French Creole, French-lexicon Creole, French-lexifi er Creole, French Creole languages/dialects, Haitian/Martiniquan/St. Lucian (etc.) Cre- ole, and more recently by the adjective of the name of the country, particularly in the case of the Haiti (cf.

  • Native American Languages, Indigenous Languages of the Native Peoples of North, Middle, and South America
    Native American Languages, indigenous languages of the native peoples of North, Middle, and South America. The precise number of languages originally spoken cannot be known, since many disappeared before they were documented. In North America, around 300 distinct, mutually unintelligible languages were spoken when Europeans arrived. Of those, 187 survive today, but few will continue far into the 21st century, since children are no longer learning the vast majority of these. In Middle America (Mexico and Central America) about 300 languages have been identified, of which about 140 are still spoken. South American languages have been the least studied. Around 1500 languages are known to have been spoken, but only about 350 are still in use. These, too are disappearing rapidly. Classification A major task facing scholars of Native American languages is their classification into language families. (A language family consists of all languages that have evolved from a single ancestral language, as English, German, French, Russian, Greek, Armenian, Hindi, and others have all evolved from Proto-Indo-European.) Because of the vast number of languages spoken in the Americas, and the gaps in our information about many of them, the task of classifying these languages is a challenging one. In 1891, Major John Wesley Powell proposed that the languages of North America constituted 58 independent families, mainly on the basis of superficial vocabulary resemblances. At the same time Daniel Brinton posited 80 families for South America. These two schemes form the basis of subsequent classifications. In 1929 Edward Sapir tentatively proposed grouping these families into superstocks, 6 in North America and 15 in Middle America.
