The role of new technology and social media in reversing language loss
The relationship between technology and language endangerment has experienced a shift in attitude, whereby previously perceived as a threat to the vitality of endangered and minority languages, new technology and social media are now viewed as rich and important tools in the endeavor or language maintenance and revitalization. This paper examines several examples of how new and social media can play a role in language maintenance and revitalizati…
Defining Nominal Compounding as a Productive Word-Formation Process in Chuxnabán Mixe
Proposed criteria for defining nominal compounds cross-linguistically are not universally accepted. Moreover, in some languages, nominal compounds share properties with phrases and possessive constructions and are not easily identified in all instances (Aikhenvald 2007, Bauer 2006; 2009, Lieber and Štekauer 2009, and Scalise and Vogel 2010). This paper examines the phonological, morphosyntactic, and semantic properties of nominal compounds in Chu…
The Phonetics and Phonology of Chuxnaban Mixe
This paper presents the first detailed description of the phonetic structures of the endangered Mexican indigenous language Chuxnabn Mixe, including a survey of the main features of the consonant system and acoustic measurements of the characteristics of the vowel system. Particular attention is given to phonological processes affecting the consonant system, such as voicing and place assimilation, and to the complex phonemic vowel distinctions be…
Clausal Nominalization as Relativization Strategy in Chimariko
Nominalization has been described as an accompanying property or strategy for relativization, in particular for internally headed relative clauses and for headless or free relative clauses (Andrews 2007, Comrie and Thompson 2007, Keenan 1985, and Shibatani 2009). Comrie and Thompson (2007:379) claim that there are no formal distinctions between nominalization and relativization in certain languages, while Shibatani further argues that what have b…
Syllable structure and extrametricality
This paper proposes a functional basis for final consonant extrametricality, the asymmetric status of CVC syllables as stress-attracting in non-final position of a word but stress-rejecting in final position. A typological study of phonemic vowel length pattern in 10 languages with this final vs. non-final stress asymmetry and 30 languages in which CVC attracts stress in final position indicates a robust asymmetry between languages differing in t…

Phonemic Versus Phonetic Correlates of Vowel Length in Chuxnabán Mixe
Complementation in Chimariko
It has been claimed that all languages have complementation (Noonan 1985), but this assumption has been called into question (Thompson 2002, Englebretson 2003, and Dixon 1995). An examination of Chimariko texts reveals no syntactic evidence for complementation. Chimariko is a polysynthetic language with a complex verb morphology which follows a hierarchical system, as well as an agent–patient distinction, in the marking of core arguments. There a…
