Assessing scholarship in documentary linguistics
Documentary linguistics is new and distinctive enough that some linguists and other participants in academic reviews may be uncertain about how to assess its outputs. We recommend specific strategies for assessing documentary linguistic scholarship in academic review contexts, based on a brief description of the field for the benefit of colleagues in other areas.

Alfred Kroeber's Documentation of Inuktun (Polar Inuit)
In 1897 and 1898, Franz Boas's graduate student Alfred Kroeber was given the task of documenting the language and culture of six Inughuit (Polar Inuit) people infamously brought by Robert Peary from northern Greenland to New York City. Kroeber's notebooks from this work, archived at the University of California, Berkeley, are largely unknown to linguists and others interested in Inuit languages and people. Kroeber's notebooks contain about fifty …
Suicide trends in the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic
Patterns of Suicide in the Context of Covid-19
Aims: We aimed to determine whether there has been a change in the number of suicides occurring in three Australian states overall, and in age and sex subgroups, since the COVID-19 pandemic began, and to see if certain risk factors for suicide have become more prominent as likely underlying contributing factors for suicide. Method: Using real-time data from three state-based suicide registers, we ran multiple unadjusted and adjusted interrupted t…
Ancestry-constrained phylogenetic analysis supports the Indo-European steppe hypothesis
The supplementary materials contain details of our BEAST analyses.Note that in addition to the four blocks of analyses (A-D) mentioned in Experiments ( §6), there is a fifth block of eight analyses (E1-8) in which each ancestral language in A1, in turn, has its ancestry constraint removed
Ancestry-constrained phylogenetic analysis supports the Indo-European steppe hypothesis
Discussion of Indo-European origins and dispersal focuses on two hypotheses. Qualitative evidence from reconstructed vocabulary and correlations with archaeological data suggest that Indo-European languages originated in the Pontic-Caspian steppe and spread together with cultural innovations associated with pastoralism, beginning c. 6500-5500 bp. An alternative hypothesis, according to which Indo-European languages spread with the diffusion of fa…
Descent and Diffusion in Language Diversification
The two branches of Western Numic are the Mono and Northern Paiute languages. We argue that this taxonomic structure did not arise as usually assumed in historical linguistics, through increased differentiation brought about by changes internal to each branch, but rather that diffusion between Western and Central Numic played a crucial role in forming the Western Numic family tree. More generally, we suggest that diffusion plays a greater role in…
Grammatical change
Grammatical ChangeOrigins, Nature, Outcomes
This book advances research on grammatical change and shows the breadth and liveliness of the field. Leading international scholars report and reflect on the latest research into the nature and outcomes of all aspects of syntactic change including grammaticalization, variation, complementation, syntactic movement, determiner-phrase syntax, pronominal systems, case systems, negation, and alignment. The chapters deploy a variety of generative frame…
An Online Dictionary with Texts and Pedagogical Tools
In this paper, I report on an online dictionary project for a highly endangered Native language of North America. This project involves a dynamic lexicon, linked to a corpus of texts and enriched with several associated tools, which is designed to be useful for (and is regularly used by) scholars, language teachers, and language learners. The interest of this project for a broader audience emerges not from lexicographic innovations as such, but f…
The Rise and Fall oflSandhi in California Algic
sandhi patterns whereby initial h surfaces as l after certain preverbs. We argue that h § l sandhi in each language originated by the reanalysis of final l in certain preverbs after the presence of l had become opaque. The former presence of l in these preverbs is shown by other internal evidence and Algonquian comparison. Despite the simi-larity of the sandhi patterns, we conclude that they do not support the hypothesis that the California langu…

The Origins of Consonant-Vowel Metathesis
We argue against the prevailing view that metathesis is somehow less natural phonetically than other processes and distinguished by a relatively greater phonological motivation. We survey cases of consonant-vowel metathesis-both synchronic processes and diachronic changes-with the goal of understanding how metathesis sound changes arise. We identify two types of CV metathesis, with distinct synchronic properties and distinct historical origins, a…
The Evolution of Ponapeic Nasal Substitution
Both the synchronic phonology of Ponapean and the diachronic phonology of the Ponapeic subgroup of Micronesian show a process of Substitution, whereby a voiceless geminate obstruent is realized as a homorganic sequence of nasal + voiceless stop: TiTi > NiTi. Such a process is easily described and formalized phonologically, but it appears to have no phonetic basis. Coupled with the cross-linguistic rarity of parallel processes, this suggests that …

The Origin of NP Split Ergativity
The Anatolian branch of Indo-European is characterized by a split-ergative case-marking system in which neuters inflect ergatively and common-gender nouns inflect accusatively; its ergative case originated via the reanalysis of an unproductive neuter instrumental marker in null-subject transitive clauses. A development from instrumental to ergative also occurred in the prehistory of the Gorokan languages of Papua New Guinea, and it is suggested t…
