  • Determiners and the Development of Grammatical Nominalization in Nivaĉle

    Open AccessManuel A Otero, Doris L Payne et al.ARTICLEStudia Linguistica2021

    Nivaĉle, a Mataco‐Mataguayan language of the South American Chaco, exhibits right branching syntax often involving determiners. The determiners express visibility, proximity, existence, have temporal implications, and mark abstract referents and nominalized clauses. This paper proposes that headless relative clauses arose by using determiners in grammatical nominalization via an amalgam source construction, while a certain complement clause struc…

  • Diversity of Maa (Nilotic) adverbs

    Open AccessDoris L Payne, Doris PayneARTICLEStudies in African Linguistics2020

    Maa linguistic varieties (Maasai, Parakuyo, Chamus, Samburu, among others), of the Eastern Nilotic family (Nilo-Saharan phylum), have words which can modify a predicate or predication and have the function of what cross-linguistically are called adverbs. While these words can be considered a single class due to this shared function and distribution, there are nevertheless morphosyntactic and usage distinctions. This is partly due to disparate his…

  • Personality structure in east and west Africa

    Amber Gayle Thalmayer, Gerard Saucier et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2020Citada por: 5

    The field of psychology relies heavily on evidence from North America and Northern Europe. Universally applicable models require input from around the globe. Indigenous lexical studies of personality, which define the most salient person-descriptive concepts and their structure in a population, provide this. Such results are reported from two nonindustrialized communities, representing 2 of the 3 main language families of Africa, in groups with d…

  • A Basic Bivariate Structure of Personality Attributes Evident Across Nine Languages

    Open AccessGerard Saucier, Amber Gayle Thalmayer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2014

    Here, two studies seek to characterize a parsimonious common‐denominator personality structure with optimal cross‐cultural replicability. Personality differences are observed in all human populations and cultures, but lexicons for personality attributes contain so many distinctions that parsimony is lacking. Models stipulating the most important attributes have been formulated by experts or by empirical studies drawing on experience in a very lim…

  • Is Greenberg's "Macro-Carib" viable

    Open AccessSpike Gildea, Doris L Payne et al.ARTICLEBoletim do Museu Paraense Emílio…2007Citada por: 3Referencias: 14

    In his landmark work Language in the Americas, Greenberg (1987) proposed that Macro-Carib was one of the major low-level stocks of South America, which together with Macro-Panoan and Macro-Ge-Bororo were claimed to comprise the putative Ge-Pano-Carib Phylum. His Macro-Carib includes the isolates Andoke and Kukura, and the Witotoan, Peba-Yaguan, and Cariban families. Greenberg's primary evidence came from person-marking paradigms in individual lan…

  • Source of the Yagua Nominal Classification System

    Doris L PayneARTICLEInternational Journal of American…2007Citada por: 7Referencias: 10

    The Yagua (Peba-Yaguan) classifier system shows a number of structural isomorphisms with Bora-Witotoan classifier systems. This is seen in the use of classifiers to derive new nouns from a variety of root types, and in what at first glance may appear to be agreement functions in some contexts. In both families, classifiers are required in numeral and demonstrative structures, and have similar discourse functions. However, there is actually little…

  • External Possession

    Doris L Payne, Immanuel BarshiBOOKExternal Possession (Typological…1999

    External Possession Constructions (EPCs) are found in nearly all parts of the world and across widely divergent language families. The data-rich papers in this first-ever volume on EPCs document their typological variability, explore diachronic reasons for variations, and investigate their functions and theoretical ramifications. EPCs code the possessor as a core grammatical relation of the verb and in a constituent separate from that which conta…

  • Maasai gender in typological perspective

    Open AccessDoris L Payne, Doris PayneARTICLEStudies in African Linguistics1998Citada por: 2

    Maasai nouns (or determined NPs) occur in one of three genders: masculine/ augmentative, feminine/diminutive, or place (the last is extremely limited). The Maasai gender system is semantic rather than formal (i.e., based on phonological or morphological criteria) in type, but with at least two distinct semantic subtypes. For a restricted set of nouns, gender is immutably based on lexical semantic features. Other nouns are lexically neutral, or ha…

    A description of the syntax of the Australian Aboriginal language Pitjantjatjara. This book looks at the relevant categories and constituents in the language and examines the question of whether the constituents exhibit a syntactically basic order. The data shows that word in a range of constructions is constrained and Heather Bowe argues that these facts would be consistent with an analysis of word being syntactically significant in Pitjantjatja…
