A model of the origins and development of Aleut
It has long been thought that Unangam Tunuu (Aleut) must have undergone substantial language contact at some point, given its divergent lexicon, features seemingly shared with Dene languages, and a single feature shared with Eyak, Tlingit, and Haida. To date, however, the nature of prehistoric language contact event(s) has remained unclear. Collaboration between the authors has resulted in a cohesive model of language contact mechanisms, together…
Mid-Holocene Language Connections between Asia and North America
Central Siberian Yupik Influence on Sirenikski Verbal Inflection
Language contact is pervasive in the history of all Eskaleut languages of the Pacific Rim, and the languages show contact effect regardless of typological similarity or degree of relatedness. Moreover, the degree of contact has allowed for the borrowing of features that are generally thought of as relatively impervious to borrowing, including verb inflection. In particular, Sirenikski has been in close contact with the closely related language Ce…
Coordination in Pribilof Islands Unangam Tunuu
This paper provides a detailed analysis of conjunctive, disjunctive, and adversative coordination in the Pribilof Islands variety of Unangam Tunuu (Aleut). Although Unangam Tunuu prefers clause-chaining to coordinate structures, it nevertheless makes freq and distribution of particular coordinating particles. In this paper, I compare clause-chaining and coordination as strategies for types of coordinating structures, and the effects of coordinati…
Origins of Linguistic Diversity in the Aleutian Islands
The Aleut language, currently spoken along the Aleutian chain and the Pribilof and Commander islands, is the only language in its branch of the Eskimo-Aleut language family, and traditional methods of linguistic reconstruction have neither satisfactorily explained its relationship with languages on the Asian continent nor its development from Proto-Eskimo-Aleut. Linguistic reconstruction has always been important in understanding the prehistory a…
Contact-induced lexical development in Yupik and Inuit languages
Lexical change in Yupik and Inuit languages was relatively slow until the period of widespread cultural change brought about by contact with Europeans over the past few centuries, probably because there had been little earlier contact with other language families. The colonial period brought various groups to the Arctic and different waves of language contact, primarily with Danish, French, English, and Russian. Lexical borrowing has been signifi…
Syntactic constructions involving verbs of elocution in West Greenlandic
This article seeks to demonstrate, on the basis of textual evidence in the historical period of West Greenlandic, that there exists an indirect speech construction in this language, even if there is a marked preference for direct speech strategies
