Seeing linguistic systems as intellectual, aesthetic, and expressive achievements
Linguists in the last century have asked how lexico-grammatical systems may or may not vary, due perhaps to their origins in human biology or sociality; as well as how they may reflect their genetic relationships or geographic distributions. But alongside seeing linguistic systems as instances of principles we may posit, it is also important to leave room for local contingency, and that includes seeing linguistic systems, to the fullest extent po…
A Conversation with Joel Sherzer
A Conversation with Joel Sherzer Anthony C. Woodbury On the Sunday morning before Thanksgiving of 1979, dazed from days of careering around a hotel somewhere at a meeting of the American Anthropological Association, awkward in my suit and tie, bereft of job nibbles, suddenly, on reading my lapel label, someone says: “You’re Tony Woodbury. Joel Sherzer has been looking for you.” It was Dick Bauman. Then from another direction, speaking twice as fa…
Conjugational Double-Classification
In the Chatino languages (Oto-Manguean; Oaxaca), verbs show two independent patterns of conjugational classification in marking aspect and mood, one based on prefixation and the other based on tonal ablaut. I term this conjugational double-classification. Each pattern determines its own conjugational classification of verb stems: verbs fall into several aspect/mood prefix conjugation classes that depend partly on their segmental structure and tra…
He Suffocates Me
A fragment of conversation is presented demonstrating Joel Sherzer's premise that discourse is 'the nexus, the actual and concrete expression of the language-culture-society relationship'. The passage passes from commentary to metacommentary and from humor and teasing, to personality, social and cultural relationships among intimates and strangers, respect, and even philosophies of language and linguistic representation. The fragment was recorded…
Reproducible research in linguistics
This paper is a position statement on reproducible research in linguistics, including data citation and attribution, that represents the collective views of some 41 colleagues. Reproducibility can play a key role in increasing verification and accountability in linguistic research, and is a hallmark of social science research that is currently under-represented in our field. We believe that we need to take time as a discipline to clearly articula…
A Holistic Humanities of Speaking
We take up Boas's commitment to the establishment of a large corpus of texts from the indigenous languages and peoples of the Americas, examining what we take to be his fundamental principles: using texts as the philological record from which to document and explore language, culture, and intellectual life on their own terms; training speakers to engage in documentation through the creation and analysis of texts; and a focus on the emergence of p…

Training speakers of indigenous languages of Latin America at a US university
The core idea of CILLA is to recruit into our Linguistics and Anthropology Ph.D. programs promising graduate students from indigenous communities in Latin America. The students focus on documentary and descriptive linguistics, which we take as the starting point for

Native American Discourse
Meaningful Phonological Processes
This paper proposes principles to revise the strict ‘double articulation’ of standard linguistic theory, and define a class of optional rules of postlexical phonology whose output bears meaning. The class includes prosody-modifying processes of Central Alaskan Yupik Eskimo (CAY)—which, when applied to a word or prosodic phrase, add linguistically significant expressive or other pragmatic meaning. Their postlexical rule status is suggested by thei…
Affixial verbs in syntax
Graded Syllable Weight in Central Alaskan Yupik Eskimo (Hooper Bay-Chevak)
The functions of rhetorical structure
Discourse structure in Central Alaskan Yupik Eskimo (CAY) narrative and conversation is examined, and a general notion ofrhetorical structureis proposed, growing out of recent work in the poetics of Native American oral literature. Rhetorical structure in a given language would consist of prosodically and intonationally signaled phonological phrasing along with whatever other significant formal features consistently pattern or interact with it (m…
