A "Presence" Paradigm in Plains Cree
This article considers how speakers of Plains Cree (Algonquian, western Canada) use obviation, independent vs. conjunct verb inflection, and evidentials in their speech performances, in the light of a grammatical paradigm constructed by elders from the Hobbema area. Borrowing insights from anthropological work on Cree ways of speaking, I adapt Dell Hymes’s ideas so as to better understand how Plains Cree cultural practices are embedded and expres…
Plains Cree pêyâhtikowêwin
Cree speakers often characterize their language as “soft.” What this means is explored in the context of various philosophical concepts developed by the Cree themselves for the analysis and understanding of speech, with the aid of parts of the Hymes model for the ethnography of speaking, and is related to a paradigm of grammatical contrasts produced by a Cree elder
The Relation of Switch-Reference, Animacy, and Obviation in Plains Cree
This paper offers a novel approach to the classical referential categories described for Plains Cree (Algonquian), paying particular attention to the notions of “animate obviative” and “inanimate obviative.” Based on the asymmetric morphological expression of these two proposed categories, I argue that the term “obviative” ought not to be applied equally to animate and inanimate, and that the grammatical category “inanimate obviative” is not rele…
Vowel spaces in Plains Cree
This paper presents a pilot study of the acoustic correlates of the Plains Cree vowel system. Naturalistic recordings of speakers of mid-20th-century Plains Cree, including one monolingual speaker, provide an empirical test for the general expectations from phonological descriptions. The results demonstrate that, while the hypothesized short/long vowel pairs do indeed have a strong durational contrast, the majority of vowel pairs are also disting…
