Abstract
Abstract:This article proposes a lexical analysis of the derivation of denominal verbs of a type found widely in Algonquian languages: verbs of acquiring, which express the process by which the referent of the subject acquires tokens of items of the type named by the nominal on which the verb stem is based. Focusing on data from Ojibwe and Maliseet-Passamaquoddy, I argue against a proposed syntactic analysis of these verbs via noun incorporation, instead developing a lexical alternative; employing the mechanisms of Bochner's (1993) Lexical Relatedness Morphology this allows us to track connections among lexical formations that follow related but distinct derivational patterns.
期刊介绍：
Anthropological Linguistics, a quarterly journal founded in 1959, provides a forum for the full range of scholarly study of the languages and cultures of the peoples of the world, especially the native peoples of the Americas. Embracing the field of language and culture broadly defined, the editors welcome articles and research reports addressing cultural, historical, and philological aspects of linguistic study, including analyses of texts and discourse; studies of semantic systems and cultural classifications; onomastic studies; ethnohistorical papers that draw significantly on linguistic data; studies of linguistic prehistory and genetic classification.
