Introduction __________________________________________________________________ ‘How, then, did we raise ourselves from a barbarous state? How were we developed, from a rude, red-haired horde on the banks of the Elbe, into the foremost rank amongst the nations – amongst the first in power, and in all that ennobles and beautifies life?’ Christopher William Richmond (18 May 1858). 1 This thesis explores the discourses of Native policy in New Zealand’s General Assembly from 1858 to 1862. It endeavours to illuminate the nature and meaning of Native policy debates by examining the languages employed by parliamentary protagonists, setting these languages in their intellectual and cultural contexts. These discourse traditions reveal the ways in which nineteenth-century New Zealand politicians conceived of themselves, most significantly as being a British people with a constitutional history in which Britons were the inheritors of civil freedoms and rights of property, and a national history in which Saxon ancestors had brought with them early forms of these constitutional freedoms. The dominance of British Empire underlined the perception that Victorians enjoyed the world’s pre-eminent civilization. The principal argument of this thesis is that ‘race’ was not the key motif of Native policy discourse or conception in this period, aligning with the scholarship of Duncan Bell and Peter Mandler rather than scholars such as Catherine Hall. ‘Race’ or ‘superior race’ language was used but this should be seen within the tradition of the growth of civilization in societies, from savage or barbarian states to those of civility. This was a paradigm constructed from history, rather than from notions of inherent racial (particularly biological) differentiation. It was a ‘stadial’ or ‘conjectural’ mode of philosophical history, identified in recent 1 NZPD (1858-60): 446. 2 literature with the Scottish Enlightenment histories of civil society. 2 This thesis argues that this was the dominant paradigm of Native policy through to 1862, and probably for some years beyond that. This means that ‘fatal impact’ thinking did not, in fact could not, imply a belief in a fundamental divide between British and Māori societies. The stadial paradigm in this mid-Victorian period was joined by the language of Teutonism or Saxonism, which did not modify its essential universalist assumptions but flavoured them with comparisons of national character. The use of Saxon language reflected a mid-to-late Victorian enthusiasm for cultural Saxonism, but its appearance in the debates on Native policy in New Zealand has not been fully addressed in historiographical scholarship. 3 Notions of systematic colonization and Native land tenure were perhaps the most highly contested political issues of this period. A more intense focus on this five year period reveals, more than general studies have done, the variety of parliamentary opinion: from Henry Sewell’s clear view, in 1862, that M āori title was not cognizable in English courts, to FitzGerald’s view in the same year, that it was or might soon be cognizable, because M āori tenure practice was adapting itself to English forms. These debates also reveal similar language as that employed in Native governance debates generally, including a Burkean conception of law as a reflection of cultural practice or custom. In using the methodology of intellectual or cultural history, the thesis does not deny the affects of colonial and imperial policy contexts. As Mark Hickford has written of an earlier period, the nature of Native policy formation was contestable, 2 ; Mark Hickford, ‘"Decidedly the Most Interesting Savages on the Globe": An Approach to the Intellectual History of Maori Property Rights, 1837-53’, History of Political Thought 27 (2006): 122-67; Damen Ward, ‘A Means and Measure of Civilisation: Colonial Authorities and Indigenous Law in Australasia’, History Compass 1 (2003): 1-24; Bruce Buchan, ‘The Empire of Political Thought: Civilization, Savagery and Perceptions of Indigenous Government’, History of the Human Sciences 18 (2005): 1-22. See also, M. P. K. Sorrenson, ‘How to Civilize Savages: Some "Answers" From Nineteenth Century New Zealand’, New Zealand Journal of History 9 (1975): 97-110. 3 Or perhaps, it has not arisen in some instances because the focus was on an earlier period. 3 its language and practice ‘profoundly entwined’. 4 The politics of colony and Empire in New Zealand exhibited a number of interests and opinions as to the nature of M āori society and the appropriate policy response. While these colonial and Imperial contexts are examined, the emphasis is on the intellectual contexts of Victorian Britain, as it is these that have been largely passed over in New Zealand historiography.

Printed in the United States of America oi.uchicago.edu PREFACE HE book contains twelve chapters, but it can be broken up structurally into five parts. First, the place of writing among the various systems of human inter­ communication is discussed. This is followed by four Tchapters devoted to the descriptive and comparative treatment of the various types of writing in the world. The sixth chapter deals with the evolution of writing from the earliest stages of picture writing to a full alphabet. The next four chapters deal with general problems, such as the future of writing and the relationship of writing to speech, art, and religion. Of the two final chapters, one contains the first attempt to establish a full terminology of writing, the other an extensive bibliography. The aim of this study is to lay a foundation for a new science of writing which might be called grammatology. While the general histories of writing treat individual writings mainly from a descriptive-historical point of view, the new science attempts to establish general principles governing the use and evolution of writing on a comparative-typological basis.

  • Pseudo Noun Conflation in Ojibwa
    Nominal incorporation and word formation via phrasal movement: evidence from Ojibwe Abstract The present paper is a contribution to on-going discussion on the nature of nominal incorporation (NI), denominal verbs, and the composition of words in polysynthetic languages. In the context of Ojibwe, an Algonquian language, the article argues that, before they undergo morphological merger with the verb at PF, INs raise to their hosts in the syntax via phrasal movement. I show that the Ojibwe INs are complex elements that surface with derivational and inflectional affixes, and sometimes even with modifiers, falsifying the hypothesis according to which only bare nominal roots can be incorporated. The paper focuses on a special kind of NI where the incorporator is a bound affix argued to be a light verb v with both lexical and functional properties. Unlike simple verbalizers that turn a noun into a verb, it never conflates with the nominal with which it merges, in sharp contrast with denominal verb formation in English or French. Keywords Light verbs • Nominal incorporation • Ojibwe • Algonquian • Denominal verbs • Distributed Morphology 1 Introduction The present paper is a study of nominal incorporation (IN) and word formation in Ojibwe, an Algonquian language spoken in parts of Canada and of the United States. I argue that: (i) the language has a process of light verb NI; (ii) that it is productive and compositional; (iii) that it is syntactic rather than lexical; (iv) that the incorporee is a phrase rather than a head and that it raises in the syntax via XP movement (with subsequent morphological merger at PF).

  • The Sauk Language of the Sac and Fox of Oklahoma
    Language Preservation with the Help of Written Language: The Sauk Language of the Sac and Fox of Oklahoma KERSTIN MULLER REINSCHMIDT University of Tucson Ta ka we na nu ta ma. Ke ne no ta we?1 The chances of coming across a tribal member who can understand these phrases are small, because the tribe's main spoken language today is English. The Sac and Fox of Oklahoma2 have not been spared by history and share the fate of native language loss along with the majority of Indian communities across North America. Writing about the Mohawk language, Mithun and Chafe (1979:8) see the value of native languages as "the clearest symbols of their Indianness", and they ask: "Is such a loss inevitable, or, given the desire, can a community do something to retard or reverse it?" In this paper, I focus on Sauk orthography. Brandt (1988:328), who shows how linguists have served as consultants for North American tribes in various contexts, notes that "A central [context] is in orthography development and in teaching people to read and write their own languages."3 Within the contemporary context of literacy, Sauk needs to be visible as well as audible. Unfortunately, there has never been any agreement about the orthography to be used. While linguistic transcriptions vary from very detailed phonetic ones to more simplified phonemic representa­ tions, the Sac and Fox themselves have adopted what they call a "syllabic spelling" for their language. 1 "I speak a little Sauk. Do you understand?" The spelling is adopted from the Sac and Fox Primer Book (1977).

  • Refinement of the Ho-Chunk Syllabary in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries Kathleen Danker
    Chapter 4 Ba-be-bi-bo-ra: Refinement of the Ho-Chunk syllabary in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries Kathleen Danker In 1885, a man from the Nebraska Winnebago Reservation learned the Great Lakes syllabary writing system from the Sac and Fox in Iowa and began adapting it to Ho-Chunk, the only Siouan language to be written in this syllabary. During the first half of the twentieth century, the Ho-Chunk syllabary continued to berefined by writers who created new symbols necessary for the additional Ho-Chunk vow- els and consonants and discarded unnecessary Sac and Fox characters. Increasing correspondence to the phonemic characteristics of the Ho-Chunk language can be seen by comparing the version of it used by its original adapter in Nebraska pub- lished in 1890, a text composed in 1938 by Sam Blowsnake in Wisconsin, and one written in the 1970’s by Felix White, Sr., of Winnebago, Nebraska, who referred to the Ho-Chunk syllabary as the ba-be-bi-bo-ra. 1 Introduction The members of the Ho-Chunk, or Winnebago, tribe, with reservations inWis- consin and Nebraska, are the only speakers of a Siouan language to have devel- oped a phonemic written language system. Generally referred to as a syllabary, this type of orthography is more specifically termed an abugida as defined by Pe- ter T. Daniels in his 1990 typology of writing systems. Rather than employing sep- arate symbols for all possible syllabic combinations of consonants and vowels in a language, as does a classic syllabary, an abugida consists of a phoneme-specific consonant symbol followed by a secondary, also phoneme-specific, vowel sym- bol.
