I am ready to watch a video now! When I was first accepted to the graduate program in linguistics at UTA, some friends asked me why I wanted a Ph.D. I had to think about my answer for several days and finally concluded that I wanted to be the best I could possibly be, not for myself, but as a gift to God, who radically changed my life 20 years ago. Thank you, Ade and Frannie, for helping me see clearly the purpose for all of this. October 10, 2003 iv ABSTRACT A PHONOLOGICAL GRAMMAR OF NORTHERN PAME Publication No. ______ Scott Charles Berthiaume, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2003 Supervising Professor: David J. Silva The present research describes the phonology and morphology of Northern Pame, an Otomanguean language of Central Mexico. Furthermore, it explains the grammatical relationship of these domains from an Optimality Theoretic perspective. In terms of description, Northern Pame has a complex phonological inventory of 40 consonants, which distinguish among glottalized, aspirated, voiceless and voiced segments, as well as 6 vowels, which contrast for nasalization. In addition, a claim is made for two Northern Pame tones, in contrast to earlier suggestions of a three-tone system (Avelino 1997). Regarding Otomanguean laryngeally complex vowels (Silverman 1997b, Herrera 2000), this research provides phonological, as well as laryngoscopic evidence for the segmental, rather than a unit, interpretation in Northern Pame. Northern Pame allows for complex syllable margins, but these are severely constrained by the OCP. Syllable complex nuclei are completely forbidden, and epenthesis (*DEP) is the common strategy to resolve potential nuclei problems. Northern Pame is morphologically complex, marking nouns for class, possession, number including dual and plural, and association. Verbs fall into two classes, each of which is sub-divided based on transitivity. Verbs and nouns share the same suffix morphology for number. Northern Pame morphophonemics encompass processes that affect place or precedence (metathesis, palatalization), laryngealization and syllable well-formedness. Under such underlying circumstances, the constraints UNIFORMITY-IO and LINEARITY-IO are the common minimal violations. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ABSTRACT TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES LIST OF TABLES CHAPTER 1 1.1 Introduction 1.2 Location 1.3 Northern Pame language use 1.4 State of research 1.5 Research problem 1.6 Methodology 1.6.1 Data 1.6.2 Analysis 1.7 Conclusion and outline of the present research CHAPTER 2 2.1 Introduction 2.2 Early Pamean studies: Soustelle (1934[1993]), Manrique (1967) 2.3 Central Pame studies: Gibson (1956), Gibson and Bartholomew (1979) 2.4 Northern Pame studies: Avelino (1997, 2002). 2.5 Laryngeal theory: Silverman (1995 [1997], 1997) and Lombardi 1994. 2.6 Theory: Prince and Smolensky (1993), McCarthy and Prince (1995) 2.7 Conclusion CHAPTER 3 3.1 Introduction 3.2 Consonants 3.2.1 Obstruent voicing 3.2.2 Aspiration and glottalization of stops and affricates. 3.2.3 Fricatives 3.2.4 Nasals 3.2.5 Flaps 3.2.6 Laterals 3.2.7 Glides and laryngeals 3.3 Vowels 3.3.1 Nasal Vowels 3.4 Tone 3.5 Conclusion CHAPTER 4 4.1 Introduction 4.2 Segmentation of consonants 4.2.1 Complex segments versus complex sequences 4.2.2 Previous approach to segmentation (Avelino 1997). 4.2.3 Critique of previous approach 4.2.4 The non-segmental status of ambiguous sequences. 4.2.5 Additional evidence for true complex segments 4.3 Segmentation of vowels 4.3.1 Laryngeally ambiguous vowels 4.3.2 Critique of former approaches 4.3.3 Reanalysis of laryngeally ambiguous vowels 4.4 Conclusion vi CHAPTER 5 5.1 Introduction 5.2 Onsets 5.2.1 Onset complexity 5.2.2 /*pw/ clusters 5.2.3 /*tj/ clusters 5.2.4 Deletion versus coalescence 5.3 Nuclei 5.3.1 Nasal vowels 5.3.2 Denasalization 5.4 Codas 5.4.1 Nasal place assimilation 5.4.2 Nasal velarization 5.4.3 Devoicing of Stop codas 5.4.4 Intrusive stop formation 5.4.5 /*wp, *jt/ but /jk/ clusters 5.5 Conclusion CHAPTER 6 6.1 Introduction 6.1.1 Anatomical overview 6.2 Northern Pame laryngeal segment production 6.2.1 Vowel initial laryngeal consonants 6.2.2 Vowel medial laryngeal consonants 6.2.3 Vowel final laryngeal consonants 6.3 Conclusion CHAPTER 7 7.1 Introduction 7.2 Noun morphology 7.2.1 Classification 7.2.2 Possession 7.2.3 Number 7.3 Verb morphology 7.3.1 Verb classes 7.3.2 Additional verbal morphology 7.4 Conclusion CHAPTER 8 8.1 Introduction 8.2 Palatalization 8.2.1 Glide Metathesis 8.2.2 Glide-consonant coalescence 8.2.3 Glide-Vowel Coalescence 8.3 Buccalization and voicing of the feature [sg] 8.3.1 Lateral buccalization of [sg] 8.3.2 Voicing of [sg] 8.4 Coronal lateralization 8.5 Glottal buccalization 8.6 Consonant delaryngealization 8.6.1 Deaspiration 8.6.2 Deglottalization 8.6.3 Deglottalization-devoicing 8.6.4 Glottal stop voicing 8.7 Conclusion CHAPTER 9 vii 9.1 Introduction 9.2 Results of the research 9.3 Residual issues REFERENCES BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION viii LIST OF FIGURES Figure 3-1 Spectrogram of a voiceless bilabial stop in ‘cow’ ............................................................... 22 Figure 3-2 Spectrogram of a voiced bilabial stop in ‘ears of corn’ ...................................................... 22 Figure 3-3 Voiceless velar stop in ‘crow’. ............................................................................................ 24 Figure 3-4 Aspirated velar stop in ‘they reject him’ ............................................................................ 24 Figure 3-5 Glottalized velar stop in ‘piece of paper’ ............................................................................ 25 Figure 3-6 Plain alveolar nasal in ‘he runs’ ......................................................................................... 26 Figure 3-7 Post-aspirated alveolar nasal in ‘he enters’ ........................................................................ 27 Figure 3-8 Post-glottalized alveolar nasal in ‘my lice’ ......................................................................... 27 Figure 3-9 Alveolar flap in ‘my bloods’................................................................................................ 28 Figure 3-10 Plain lateral in ‘he learns’ ................................................................................................. 29 Figure 3-11 Glottalized lateral in ‘human, man’ .................................................................................. 30 Figure 3-12 Aspirated lateral in ‘they care’ ......................................................................................... 30 Figure 3-13.

    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • The Typology of Pamean Number Systems and the Limits of Mesoamerica As a Linguistic Area
    The typology of Pamean number systems and the limits of Mesoamerica as a linguistic area HERIBERTO AVELINO Abstract Pamean languages have been considered to be outside of the Mesoamerican linguistic area. However, the number systems of Pamean show typical Meso- american structures: order of constituents Multiplier-Base-Addend, and sys- tems with bases 10 and 20. Pamean languages have a typologically unusual, but consistent base 8. The present study presents a formal characterization of Pamean number systems. The distribution and peculiarities of Pamean number systems are explained as a result of their location at the border of a major lin- guistic area. Northern Pame has 8 as the only productive base, whereas Central Pame and Southern Pame show a greater influence of Mesoamerican traits. Keywords: cardinal numerals, linguistic area, Mesoamerica, number sys- tems, numeral, Pamean 1. Introduction In this article I present an analysis of the cardinal number systems of the Pamean languages Northern Pame, Central Pame and Southern Pame. My goals are twofold. First, I offer a formal characterization of Pamean number systems in terms of the typology of number systems. Second, I discuss the particulari- ties of Pamean number systems as a result of their location at the border of a major linguistic area, Mesoamerica.1 I show that Pamean systems present typ- ical Mesoamerican structures with the order of constituents Multiplier-Base- Addend and with bases 10 and 20. However, Northern Pame is of special inter- est for the typology of number systems owing to the consistent use of a base 8. 1. As defined by archaeologists, Pamean languages are spoken in the cultural area known as Arid-America or the Gran Chichimeca: see Di Peso (1974) and Kelly (1966) for classic ap- proaches, and several essays in Reyman (1995) for more recent studies.

  • The Acoustic Consequences of Phonation and Tone Interactions in Jalapa Mazatec
    The acoustic consequences of phonation and tone interactions in Jalapa Mazatec Marc Garellek & Patricia Keating Phonetics Laboratory, Department of Linguistics, UCLA [email protected] San Felipe Jalapa de Dıaz⁄ (Jalapa) Mazatec is unusual in possessing a three-way phonation contrast and three-way level tone contrast independent of phonation. This study investigates the acoustics of how phonation and tone interact in this language, and how such interactions are maintained across variables like speaker sex, vowel timecourse, and presence of aspiration in the onset. Using a large number of words from the recordings of Mazatec made by Paul Kirk and Peter Ladefoged in the 1980s and 1990s, the results of our acoustic and statistical analysis support the claim that spectral measures like H1-H2 and mid- range spectral measures like H1-A2 best distinguish each phonation type, though other measures like Cepstral Peak Prominence are important as well. This is true regardless of tone and speaker sex. The phonation type contrasts are strongest in the first third of the vowel and then weaken towards the end. Although the tone categories remain distinct from one another in terms of F0 throughout the vowel, for laryngealized phonation the tone contrast in F0 is partially lost in the initial third. Consistent with phonological work on languages that cross-classify tone and phonation type (i.e. ‘laryngeally complex’ languages, Silverman 1997), this study shows that the complex orthogonal three-way phonation and tone contrasts do remain acoustically distinct according to the measures studied, despite partial neutralizations in any given measure. 1 Introduction Mazatec is an Otomanguean language of the Popolocan branch.

  • Phonetics and Phonology
    46 2 Phonetics and Phonology In this chapter I describe the segmental and suprasegmental categories of CLZ phonology, both how they are articulated and how they fall into the structures of syllable and word. I also deal with phono-syntactic and phono-semantic issues like intonation and the various categories of onomatopoetic words that are found. Other than these last two issues this chapter deals only with strictly phonetic and phonological issues. Interesting morpho-phonological details, such as the details of tonal morphology, are found in Chapters 4-6. Sound files for most examples are included with the CD. I begin in §2.1 and §2.2 by describing the segments of CLZ, how they are articulated and what environments they occur in. I describe patterns of syllable structure in §2.3. In §2.4 I describe the vowel nasalization that occurs in the SMaC dialect. I go on to describe the five tonal categories of CLZ and the main phonetic components of tone: pitch, glottalization and length in §2.5. Next I give brief discussions of stress (§2.6), and intonation (§2.7). During the description of segmental distribution I often mention that certain segments have a restricted distribution and do not occur in some position except in loanwords and onomatopoetic words. Much of what I consider interesting about loanwords has to do with stress and is described in §2.6 but I also give an overview of loanword phonology in §2.8. Onomatopoetic words are sometimes outside the bounds of normal CLZ phonology both because they can employ CLZ sounds in unusual environments and because they may contain sounds which are not phonemic in CLZ.

  • Reasons Why Indigenous People Migrate and Settle in Guanajuato, Mexico Perla Shiomara Del Carpio Ovando1
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 5, No. 2; February 2015 From Communities to the Cities: Reasons Why Indigenous People Migrate and Settle in Guanajuato, Mexico Perla Shiomara Del Carpio Ovando1 Ricardo Contreras Soto Daniel Vega Macías Research professors University of Guanajuato Campus Celaya-Salvatierra Abstract Introduction: Internal migration has been one of the main factors of economic and social change in Mexico. Since 1940, continuous flow of migrants from the countryside to the city strengthened the national urban system, which currently accounts for close to 71% of the population. Indigenous population is actively involved in these migration movements, often in response to poor socioeconomic conditions in their places of origin. This research investigates the reasons for migration of indigenous groups living in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. Methods: The research is based on qualitative in-depth face-to-face interviews to a non-random sample of a population. Fieldwork was conducted from June 2013 and June 2014 in the southeastern and northeastern of Guanajuato. Main results: The research shows that a poor living condition is the main reason why indigenous people migrate and settle in Guanajuato, many of them trying to escape from extreme poverty. Other issues highlighted in the research are family and school reasons. Conclusions: Even though the motives of internal migration of indigenous groups in México have numerous points of overlap with migrations in general, such as the search for better living conditions, one aspect that distinguishes it is the strategic use of the indigenous identity in order to function and deal with, in some way, spaces and experiences of discrimination or exclusion.

E. Adamou, The Popolocan languages The Popolocan languages Evangelia Adamou French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) 1. Introduction 1.1. Classification The Popolocan branch of the Otomanguean stock includes four languages, namely Chocho, Popoloc, Ixcatec, and Mazatec. This classification follows the work of Fernández de Miranda (1951, 1956), Hamp (1958), Gudschinsky (1959a) and Swadesh (1960: 83). Based on glottochronological analyses, Fernández de Miranda (1956) suggests that Mazatec was the first language to split from the other Popolocan languages 25 centuries ago. Next, 13 centuries ago, Ixcatec branched off while Chocho and Popoloc, which share the greatest number of innovations, split up 8 centuries ago. The divergence of Mazatec from the three other Popolocan languages and the proximity between Popoloc and Chocho is uncontroversial. However, the position of Ixcatec in the Popolocan branch is less clear.

The Genetic History Of The Otomi In The Central Mexican Valley Abstract The Otomí, or Hñäñhü, is an indigenous ethnic group in the Central Mexican Valley that has been historically marginalized since before Spanish colonization. To investigate the extent by which historical, geographic, linguistic, and cultural influences shaped biological ancestry, I analyzed the genetic variation of 224 Otomí individuals residing in thirteen Otomí villages. Results indicate that the majority of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes belong to the four major founding lineages, A2, B2, C1, and D1, reflecting an overwhelming lack of maternal admixture with Spanish colonizers. Results also indicate that at an intra-population level, neither geography nor linguistics played a prominent role in shaping maternal biological ancestry. However, at an inter-population level, geography was found to be a more influential determinant. Comparisons of Otomí genetic variation allow us to reconstruct the ethnic history of this group, and to place it within a broader-based Mesoamerican history.
