Abstract
Abstract:Nakota (Siouan) has expanded its lexicon of acculturation almost exclusively through coining and polysemy (semantic extension). The few loanwords designate only foreign types of person or animal, and some (e.g., 'pig', 'Métis') have diffused indirectly from neighboring Siouan and Algonquian languages. Loanshifts are mostly syntactic compounds that express concepts alien to traditional Nakota culture. When the influx of new entities and concepts increased at the turn of the twentieth century, semantic extension—representative of an older stratum of lexical expansion, when new experiences were commonly equated with their closest traditional analog—was replaced by coining of transparent and descriptive words.
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.
