Abstract:
The theoretical aim of this article is to integrate the singulative into the theory of division proposed by Borer (2005) and other theoretical linguists (e.g., Krifka 1995 , Doetjes 1996 , 1997 , Chierchia 1998 , Cheng and Sybesma 1999 ). To illustrate my claim, I offer a brief case study of Ojibwe, an Algonquian language, which I argue uses gender shift (from inanimate to animate) to mark singulativization. Singulatives, as morphological markers, are primarily known from Celtic, Afro-Asiatic, and Nilo-Saharan languages, but are not a known feature of Algonquian languages. Further support for my claim that the grammar of Algonquian languages embeds a singulative system comes from Fox (Mesquakie).

Abstract:
SUMMARY In Arapaho and Atsina, two closely related Algonquian languages spoken on the Great Plains of North America, almost all Proto-Algonquian phonemes have undergone significant shifts. Normally, *s becomes h, but Ives Goddard contended that in word-initial position *s becomes n, although he could cite only two examples. Since the change is phonetically unlikely and so sparsely attested, its status as a product of regular sound change has been questioned. However, this paper presents twelve different initial elements with Arapaho-Atsina n from Proto-Algonquian *s to show that it is in fact a regular sound shift. RÉSUMÉ En Arapaho et Atsina, deux langues algonquiennes des plaines d'Amérique du Nord prochement apparentés, presque tous les phonèmes proto-algonquiens ont subis des changements considérables. En principe, *s devient h, mais Ives Goddard prétend qu'au commencement d'un mot *s devient n, bien qu'il ne puisse en citer que deux exemples. Puisqu'il est un changement phonétique improbable et peu attesté, on a contesté son titre comme résultat de changement régulier. Cependant, cet article présente douze éléments initials différents avec un n arapaho-atsina d'un *s proto-algonquien pour demontrer qu'il s'agit en effet d'un changement phonologique régulier. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Fast alle Laute des Uralgonquischen haben im Arapaho und im Atsina, zwei eng miteinander verwandten Sprachen der großen Ebenen von Nord-amerika, beträchtlichen Wandel durchgemacht. *s wird normalerweise zu h, doch hat Ives Goddard, obwohl er nur zwei Beispiele anzuführen hatte, da-rauf bestanden, daß *s im Anlaut zu n würde. Da ein solcher Wandel pho-netisch ungewöhnlich ist, und auch in Anbetracht der dürftigen Belege, sind Zweifel daran erhoben worden, ob es sich dabei wirklich um ein Resultat lautgesetzlicher Entwicklung handelt. Dagegen führen wir in diesem Aufsatz zwölf eigenstandige Elemente an, die im Arapaho und Atsina anlautendes n als Reflex des uralgonquischen *s aufweisen, und beweisen damit, daB es sich im vorliegenden Falle tatsächlich um einen lautgesetzlichen Wandel handelt.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis considers the reference system of Plains Cree, an Algonquian language spoken in Canada. I argue that the referential system of this language can be understood as coding distinctions in extentionality; it distinguishes between referents that possess perspectives (‘intentional’) and referents that do not (‘extentional’). With respect to perspectival possession, Plains Cree distinguishes four referential classes: (i) inherently extentional “Inanimate” referents, (ii) contextually extentional “Obviative” referents, (iii) contextually intentional “Proximate” referents, and (iv) unspecified “Animate” referents. I then show that the referential class “Obviative” is decompositional; it is constructed out of components that code referential dependency, which is the confluence of structural ordering and perspectival embedding. Finally, I consider the methodological issues raised by the study of referential types, showing how different data-collection methods interact with the semantics of perspectival possession.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is a study of narratives by eighteen children 10 to 13 years old who live in an Algonquin community of Quebec. The narratives, primarily of children's personal experiences, were collected in peer groups, and were told in English, the children's second language. The specific contributions of children to each other's narratives were investigated and are described. The structural properties of a subset of the narratives were also examined using high point analysis (Peterson & McCabe, 1983). Findings resembled those reported for non-Aboriginal children with respect to the inclusion of the narrative elements of orientation, actions, and evaluation. However, the positioning of these elements and the low incidence of others resulted in differences in the structure of the narratives. Other aspects of the narratives considered include theme, narrator role, and the use of reported speech. The characteristics of the narratives are discussed as means by which the children in the study constructed and co-constructed narrative meaning.
Information on the functional dimensions of narratives in the community and on the sociocultural context in which the children live is also provided in order to facilitate the reader's appreciation of factors that influence children's narrative production.

Full text
Abstract:
Le verbe innu accueille à la fin de son radical verbal une classe de morphèmes nommés les finales. Certaines de ces finales peuvent, dans les verbes de déplacement, définir la manière dont le déplacement est effectué ou en préciser la cause. L'objet de cette étude est de caractériser la sémantique de ces finales et ce faisant du verbe en son entier. Nous cherchons à comprendre comment s'encodent sur un verbe morphologiquement complexe les différents éléments véhiculant un sens de déplacement, afin de dégager les patrons de formation du verbe de déplacement innu. Pour ce faire, nous analyserons nos données à l'aide des patrons de lexicalisation d'un événement de mouvement proposés dans Talmy (1985, 2000). Le corpus, de nature lexicale, est constitué des verbes de déplacement complexes dans lesquels le sujet est l'acteur du déplacement. Ce mémoire s'inscrit dans le groupe de recherche sur la grammaire innue dirigé par Lynn Drapeau et financé par une subvention du CRSH (Conseil de Recherche en Sciences Humaines du Canada # 856-2004-1068). ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Innu, Algonquien, Sémantique cognitive, Verbes de déplacement.

Renaud-Roy, Émilie. "Polysémie et structure conceptuelle du morphème verbal -ipal- en innu." Mémoire, 2011. http://www.archipel.uqam.ca/3897/1/M11867.pdf.

Full text
Abstract:
La structure verbale de l'innu comprend trois composantes : l'initiale, la médiane et la finale. Le morphème -ipal- apparait en position finale dans plusieurs verbes de mouvement sur place, mais aussi de déplacement, de fonctionnement, de changement d'état et de déroulement. Les sens distincts empruntés par la finale suggèrent qu'il s'agisse d'une finale polysémique. Cette étude comprend deux objectifs, le premier consiste à identifier les relations sémantiques qui unissent les sens distincts de la finale dans une perspective polysémique, le second est d'établir les patrons de lexicalisation de chacune des acceptions observées afin d'établir la correspondance entre la structure conceptuelle du verbe et ses composantes. L'ensemble de l'analyse repose sur la sémantique cognitive, à savoir les modèles de catégorisation et la polysémie (Kleiber 1990 ; Lakoff 1987 ; Evans et Tyler 2003) ainsi que les patrons conceptuels (Jackendoff 1990). Le corpus à l'étude comprend exclusivement des verbes intransitifs formés du morphème -ipal-. Ce mémoire s'inscrit dans le groupe de recherche sur la grammaire innue dirigé par Lynn Drapeau et financé par une subvention du CRSH (Conseil de Recherche en Sciences Humaines du Canada # 856-2004-1068). ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : innu, algonquien, sémantique cognitive, polysémie, mouvement.
