The sense of smell has widely been viewed as inferior to the other senses. This is reflected in the lack of treatment of olfaction in ethnographies and linguistic descriptions. We present novel data from the olfactory lexicon of Seri, a language isolate of Mexico, which sheds new light onto the possibilities for olfactory terminologies. We also present the Seri smellscape, highlighting the cultural significance of odors in Seri culture that, along with the olfactory language, is now under threat as globalization takes hold and traditional ways of life are transformed.

Abstract:This article documents and linguistically analyzes all known place names in the Gros Ventre language. Analysis of names both from the perspective of a supra-tribal system of place names on the Northern Plains and with respect to a naming system specific to Gros Ventre (which we compare to that of Arapaho) allows a better understanding of the ethnogeographic process of identifying a particular region as a homeland. Postcontact names reveal shifts in the system; nonetheless, the overall homelanding process remains largely intact in its structure and ideology, despite major changes in the types of place names used resulting from the shift from nomadism, and attendant cosmological perspectives on the land, to a settled reservation existence.

Abstract:Negev Arabic displays a unique spatial system characterized by referential complementarity: Intrinsic, Relative, and Absolute frames of reference serve all speakers and are selected according to properties of the Ground. The Absolute frame of reference, employing cardinal directions, represents the lateral axis of all Ground-objects and serves as a default frame for problematic cases, such as modern, culturally alien objects; this frame of reference largely replaces right and left and serves, e.g., as a means to locate Figures in non-prototypical axial positions or in relation to modern Ground-objects. As in other Arabic dialects, cardinal directions also encode cultural, metaphorical, and symbolic meanings—especially east and west; north and south have not developed cultural salience.

Comparative evidence is provided for a number of developments in the historical phonology of Panará, a Jê language spoken in central Brazil, in particular for the reflexes of the rhotic *ɾ reconstructed for the Proto–Northern Jê ancestral language (and, in many cases, for Proto-Jê as well).

Abstract: This article surveys and analyzes data from a number of aboriginal languages of Oregon, investigating the hypothesis that Sir Francis Drake may have landed somewhere on the Oregon coast in 1579 rather than in California, as is usually assumed. This study is partially motivated by conflicting navigational records in surviving accounts of Drake’s voyage. There is no hard linguistic evidence for an Oregon landing, though there are a few plausible semantic and phonetic matches between items on Drake’s word list and data from Oregon languages. Though themselves inconclusive as evidence, these data should be reconsidered in light of any new archaeological evidence.
