These values are central to the school’s role in programs.

  • MIXED CODES, BILINGUALISM, and LANGUAGE MAINTENANCE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requi
    BILINGUAL NAVAJO: MIXED CODES, BILINGUALISM, AND LANGUAGE MAINTENANCE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Charlotte C. Schaengold, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Brian Joseph, Advisor Professor Donald Winford ________________________ Professor Keith Johnson Advisor Linguistics Graduate Program ABSTRACT Many American Indian Languages today are spoken by fewer than one hundred people, yet Navajo is still spoken by over 100,000 people and has maintained regional as well as formal and informal dialects. However, the language is changing. While the Navajo population is gradually shifting from Navajo toward English, the “tip” in the shift has not yet occurred, and enormous efforts are being made in Navajoland to slow the language’s decline. One symptom in this process of shift is the fact that many young people on the Reservation now speak a non-standard variety of Navajo called “Bilingual Navajo.” This non-standard variety of Navajo is the linguistic result of the contact between speakers of English and speakers of Navajo. Similar to Michif, as described by Bakker and Papen (1988, 1994, 1997) and Media Lengua, as described by Muysken (1994, 1997, 2000), Bilingual Navajo has the structure of an American Indian language with parts of its lexicon from a European language. “Bilingual mixed languages” are defined by Winford (2003) as languages created in a bilingual speech community with the grammar of one language and the lexicon of another. My intention is to place Bilingual Navajo into the historical and theoretical framework of the bilingual mixed language, and to explain how ii this language can be used in the Navajo speech community to help maintain the Navajo language.

  • Appendixa: Navajo Wordlists
    APPENDIX A: NAVAJO WORDLISTS Compiled by : Martha Austin-Garrison, Navajo Community College, Shiprock NM Joyce McDonough, University ofRochester, Rochester, NY These word lists were constructed to exemplify different aspects of the sound system, such as the phonemic contrasts, tonal contrasts within words, the distinction between sounds as they appear in the stem versus conjunct and disjunct domains, and differences in the sizes of the domains in the word. Wordlist 1: Phonemic Contrasts This word list was constructed to investigate the phonemic contrasts in Navajo, as we could identify them. Because of the constraints on the sound system imposed by the morphology, the contrasts of the phonemic inventory are confined to the stem morpheme. Since the language is heavily verbal , and since verbs have a distinct structure with many distributional constraints, the notion minimal pairs, as we are used to thinking of them, are difficult to find . We chose to use prefixed nouns in this list. To get as consistent an environment as possible, the 3rd singular possessive prefix bi / [pI] 'her/his/one 's' was used with nouns . In some cases this produced words that were semantically awkward or anomalous for native speakers ('one's water' for instance). But the word list was checked with speakers before the recording session and we did not use words that speakers were uncomfortable with . I did not use tokens containing speech errors or distluencies in the analyses. Thus not all words are spoken by all speakers, and some words were dropped altogether. Some of the spelling conventions in these word lists are different from those used in Young and Morgan .

  • 'To Give an Imagination to the Listeners': the Neglected
    ‘To give an imagination to the listeners’: The neglected poetics of Navajo ideophony* ANTHONY K. WEBSTER Abstract Ideophony is a neglected aspect of investigations of world poetic traditions. This article looks at the use of ideophony in a variety of Navajo poetic genres. Examples are given from Navajo place-names, narratives, and songs. A final example involves the use of ideophony in contemporary written Navajo poetry. Using the work of Woodbury, Friedrich, and Becker it is argued that ideophones are an example of form-dependent expression, poetic indeterminacy, and the inherent exuberances and deficiencies of translation and thus strongly resists translation. This fact becomes more relevant when understood in light of the current language shift from Navajo to English. Keywords: Navajo; ideophones; translation; poetics; language shift; poetry. 1. Introduction: On ideophones In this article, I wish to describe an underappreciated poetic feature found in both Navajo oral tradition and the emerging genre of written Navajo poetry (see Webster 2004). That feature is the use of sound symbolism, onomatopoeia, and ideophony. In particular, I am concerned with the use of ‘sound imitative’ expressions (Hinton et al. 1994: 3). This class of sound symbolism attempts to ‘simulate’ some non-linguistic activity or image in a linguistic form (Nuckolls 2000: 235). These are, following the terminology of Clement Doke (1935) and Janis Nuckolls (2006), ‘ideo- phones’ (see also Tedlock 1999). Doke defines ideophones as follows: A vivid representation of an idea in sound. A word, often onomatopoeic, which describes a predicate, qualificative or adverb in respect to manner, color, sound, smell, action, state or intensity.

  • Chapter 17 Culture and Language
    Chapter 17 Culture and Language Each language sets certain limits to the spirit of those who speak it; it assumes a certain direction and, by doing so, excludes many others. — Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767–1835) Learning a language represents training in the delusions of that language. — Frank Herbert, Whipping Star There are about 6000 languages in the world, not counting the ones that have existed in the past but are dead now. I've said that before, haven't i? There are 6000 different languages in the world, and one of the ways in which they differ is in how they correlate with reality. Reality is represen- ted in different languages in different ways. But now, think about this: How do we talk about reality? How do we think about reality? Obviously, we can't talk about reality without using lan- guage, some language or other. So the way a given language represents reality obviously affects how we talk about reality — if we're using that particular language. But let's bear in mind an important theme underlying this semester's work: Language is a social phenomenon. In some sense, a language belongs to the community of people that use it. If the fact that i am speaking English affects the way i talk and think about reality, then presumably it should have roughly the same affect on everybody else who uses English — the entire English- speaking (or at least English-using) community. And, given the differences between English and the Chinese languages, that may be a little bit different from the way a Chinese-speaking commu- nity like yours is accustomed to representing reality.
