Pushing Back against the Frontier
Native Americans may resist colonial expansion in multiple ways. Some methods of resistance are direct confrontations, while others utilize subtlety. This paper examines resistance to the concept of the frontier by Native American authors, a term prevalent in settler colonial narratives connoting borders and “progress.” We claim that the term frontier is used differently by Native American authors compared to non-Native authors. The term frontier…
Comparative Grammaticalization in Enlhet-Enenlhet
Competing constructions in Kaqchikel focus contexts
This study provides new data on the use of agent focus (AF) versus transitive constructions in Kaqchikel. This work follows up on a study done by Heaton et al. (Heaton, Raina, Kamil Deen & William O’Grady. 2016. An investigation of relativization in Kaqchikel Maya. Lingua 170. 35–46) which found that while questioning the subject of a transitive verb regularly requires the use of AF or an antipassive, relativizing the subject of a transitive verb…

Antipassives in Crosslinguistic Perspective
Recent descriptive and typological research on antipassives has allowed many existing claims about antipassives to be reevaluated. Although there is still debate about which characteristics are necessary and sufficient for a construction to be considered an antipassive, it is clear that antipassives indicated by verbal marking are more widespread than previously thought. Parameters such as whether the patient can be expressed as an oblique argume…
The World’s Endangered Languages and their Status
The Catalogue of Endangered Languages has compiled data on the current vitality of 3,394 languages, improving upon the available information in many other sources. This chapter presents an abbreviated version of the Catalogue's data, providing a complete list of the endangered, dormant, and awakening languages of the world, organized by geographic region. It explores a useful reference for the world's endangered languages, as well as pointing rea…
Intransitivizing morphology
This paper provides a functional–typological discussion of the various processes which result in intransitive predicates. In addition to covering canonical cases of intransitivization such as passives, antipassives, middles, and noun incorporation, attention is also drawn to cases which complicate these categorizations, expanding our thinking about ways in which languages use discrete categories such as “transitive” and “intransitive” to represen…
When Animals Become Humans
Tunica, a language isolate of Louisiana no longer spoken by native speakers, is unusual among the languages of the southeastern United States given its robust gender system. All nouns are assigned grammatical gender—masculine or feminine—which is often explicitly marked on nouns and cross-referenced on verbs. This relatively straightforward binary system is complicated by animacy and number, both of which influence gender assignment. This paper d…
Variation and Change
This paper describes a morphological change which is currently taking place in Kaqchikel, a Mayan language of Guatemala. Historically, verbal movement morphemes appear between the ergative and the absolutive pronominal prefixes (Abs—Mvmt—Erg—Verb Root). However, this paper documents a change in the movement construction wherein the movement morpheme appears next to the main verb root rather than between the pronominal prefixes (Abs—Erg—Mvmt—Verb …
Active-Stative Agreement in Tunica
While the languages of the southeastern United States have been characterized as having active-stative alignment, there has been little or no discussion of exactly how the language isolate Tunica fits into this linguistic landscape. The Tunica agreement system can be formally characterized as an active system with stative vs. nonstative agreement—particularly in the earlier data, which preserves underlying forms that had eroded by the time of Mar…
