Subordinate Clauses in Squamish 1 Subordinate Clauses in S W Wu7mesh
Subordinate Clauses in Squamish 1 Subordinate Clauses in Sk w xx wu7mesh: Their Form and Function Peter Jacobs University of Victoria ABSTRACT: This paper examines three subordinate clause types in Sk w xx wu7mesh: nominalized clauses, conjunctive clauses and /u/ clauses. These three clause types overlap in their syntactic functions. The first two clause types function as complement clauses. All three clause types function as adverbial clauses. I propose that the distribution of these clause types is due to the degree of certainty of the truth of the subordinate clause proposition, whether from the speaker’s perspective or that of the main clause subject. KEYWORDS: Skwxwu7mesh, Salish, subjunctives, conditionals, subordination 1. Introduction Sk w xx wu7mesh (a.k.a. Squamish) is a Coast Salish language traditionally spoken in an area that extends from Burrard Inlet in Vancouver, along both sides of Howe Sound, and through the Squamish River Valley and the Cheakamus River Valley in southwestern British Columbia.1 This paper is an examination of three subordinate clauses types in Sk w xx wu7mesh: conjunctive clauses, nominalized clauses and /u/ clauses.2 Conjunctive clauses and nominalized clauses function as sentential complements and as adverbial clauses. /u/ clauses only function as adverbial clauses. This paper examines the semantic and functional-pragmatic factors that control the use of these clause types. I do not provide an exhaustive examination of subordination in Sk w xx wu7mesh. That is, I do not consider relative clauses nor clause chaining (a special type of nominalized clause). While such an examination is necessary to understand the full range of subordination strategies in Sk w xx wu7mesh, it is beyond the scope of this paper. -
The Coast Salish: Connecting Art, Environment and Traditions
THE COAST SALISH: CONNECTING ART, ENVIRONMENT AND TRADITIONS Welcome to 21st Century Learning – Links to Our Collection. This online module and supplemental education guide was developed to allow access to hundreds of digitized images and lesson plans from Glenbow Museum’s collections. Our hope is to extend our vision of ‘More people, interacting with art, culture and ideas more often.’ Please visit and enjoy 21st Century Learning – The Coast Salish: Connecting Art, Environment and Traditions. 1 This educator’s package presents the traditional way of life of the Coast Salish people. The information encourages students to examine artifacts from the Glenbow Museum’s collection and connects them to other cultures, communities and environments from within Canada. Included in this guide are: Information on the Coast Salish people including high-resolution photographs artifacts, archival photographs and essays. Lesson plans including discussions for looking at primary sources, curriculum connections and lesson plans for a variety of ages and abilities. Detailed listing of vocabulary and concepts. Suggested sources for further research and other information. 2 HISTORY OF GLENBOW MUSEUM Glenbow Museum began with the remarkable vision of petroleum entrepreneur and lawyer Eric Lafferty Harvie. Mr. Harvie came into his fortune when oil was discovered in 1949 on land near Leduc and Redwater, for which he held the mineral rights. With this prosperity, he decided to pursue his favourite passion — collecting — and simultaneously return some of his good fortune back to the region that had been so generous to him. Mr. Harvie's goal was to collect the objects representing the history and culture of Western Canada as well as from around the world. -
Lillooet Between Sechelt and Shuswap Jan P. Van Eijk First
Lillooet between Sechelt and Shuswap Jan P. van Eijk First Nations University of Canada Although most details of the grammatical and lexical structure of Lillooet put this language firmly within the Interior branch of the Salish language family, Lillooet also shares some features with the Coast or Central branch. In this paper we describe some of the similarities between Lillooet and one of its closest Interior relatives, viz., Shuswap, and we also note some similarities be tween Lillooet and Sechelt, one of Lillooet' s western neighbours but belonging to the Coast branch. Particular attention is paid to some obvious loans between Lillooet and Sechelt. 1 Introduction Lillooet belongs with Shuswap to the Interior branch of the Salish language family, while Sechelt belongs to the Coast or Central branch. In what follows we describe the similarities and differences between Lillooet and both Shuswap and Sechelt, under the following headings: Phonology (section 2), Morphology (3), Lexicon (4), and Lillooet-Sechelt borrowings (5). Conclusions are given in 6. I omit a comparison between the syntactic patterns of these three languages, since my information on Sechelt syntax is limited to a brief text (Timmers 1974), and Beaumont 1985 is currently unavailable to me. Although borrowings between Lillooet and Shuswap have obviously taken place, many of these will be impossible to trace due to the close over-all resemblance between these two languages. Shuswap data are mainly drawn from the western dialects, as described in Kuipers 1974 and 1975. (For a description of the eastern dialects I refer to Kuipers 1989.) Lillooet data are from Van Eijk 1997, while Sechelt data are from Timmers 1973, 1974, 1977. -

PUB TYPE Journal Articles (080) Reports Research (143) JOURNAL CIT Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics; v22 n2 p1-10 1997 EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *American Indian Languages; Contrastive Linguistics; Language Patterns; *Language Research; Language Variation; *Linguistic Theory; Number Systems; *Salish; *Structural Analysis (Linguistics); Uncommonly Taught Languages ABSTRACT A salient characteristic of the morpho-lexical systems of the Salish languages is the widespread use of reduplication in both derivational and inflectional functions. Salish reduplication signals such typologically common categories as "distributive/plural," "repetitive/continuative," and "diminutive," the cross-linguistically marked but typically Salish notion of "out-of-control" or more restricted categories in particular Salish languages. In addition to these functions, reduplication also plays a role in numeral systems of the Salish languages. The basic forms of several numerals appear to be reduplicated throughout the Salish family. In addition, correspondences among the various Interior Salish languages suggest the association of certain reduplicative patterns with particular "counting forms" referring to specific nominal categories. While developments in the other Salish language are frequently more idiosyncratic and complex, comparative evidence suggests that the -

Much that they were proud of still remains, but goes unnoticed by those who have not the eyes to see nor the desire to comprehend.1 ~ Oliver Wells, 1965 I feel free when I weave. ~ Frieda George, 2010 When aboriginal women of south western British Columbia, Canada undertook to revisit their once prolific and esteemed ancestral textile practices, the strand of cultural knowledge linking this heritage to contemporary life had become extremely tenuous. It is through an engagement with cultural memory, painstakingly reclaimed, that Coast Salish women began a revival in the 1960s. It included historically resonant weaving and basketry, as well as the more recent adaptive and expedient practice of knitting. -
Bare Nouns in Innu-Aimun: What Can Semantics Tell Us About Syntax?1
Bare nouns in Innu-aimun: what can semantics tell us about syntax?1 Carrie Gillon Arizona State University The structure of bare nouns has long been controversial. Many researchers argue that bare nouns involve a covert determiner (e.g., Longobardi 1994, Progovac 1998); many others argue that bare nouns are truly bare (e.g., Chierchia 1998, Rullmann and You 2003, Bošković (2008), Bošković and Gajewski to appear). Others argue that bare nouns can vacillate between NP and DP structures (Franks and Pereltsvaig 2004, Ajíbóyè, 2006). In this paper, I use semantic diagnostics to shed light on the structure of bare nouns in Innu- aimun (Algonquian). In previous work, I argue that, crosslinguistically, determiners are associated with a particular semantics: domain restriction (Gillon 2006, 2009b). Using this as a starting point, I investigate the behaviour of bare nouns in Innu-aimun and show that they must involve two different structures: DP and NP. I also argue that the covert determiner must be associated with a non-definite semantics. 1 Introduction This paper addresses two related questions. First, this paper addresses the question of whether semantics can provide us with insight into the structure of bare nouns.2 I explore the idea that the semantics can help us uncover the structure of bare nouns. Bare nouns have no overt functional superstructure. The question is whether bare nouns in languages that lack articles have covert determiners; that is, whether they are covert DPs or simply NPs.3 I argue that there is a covert determiner in Innu-aimun, but that it is not always present, based on the semantic variability of bare nouns. -
