Abstract:This article describes a previously unknown set of ordinal numbers in Menominee, originally recorded in the mid-nineteenth century by the missionary Antoine-Marie Gachet. The numbers are complex, and follow two broad (but related) patterns. Both appear to be participial forms of verbs of quantity, functioning as headless relative clauses. The article provides an analysis of all elements of the ordinal numbers, and because one of the goals of the article is to contribute to Menominee language revitalization, suggests reconstructions for the missing forms.

Abstract:Cultural Model Theory is applied to the domain of quality in Tongan. Adjectives used by speakers to characterize particular nouns in free-listing tasks were compared with the set of words labeled as adjectives in Churchward's dictionary (an approximation to the total set of quality lexemes available to Tongan speakers); the free-listing results showed a greater incidence of adjectives denoting primary (intrinsic) qualities over secondary qualities (involving relations between qualified entity and ego). Hence, the cultural model of radiality, involving a focus on other-than-ego, proposed for other cognitive domains in Tongan likely operates also in the domain of quality.

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.

Abstract:Two different types of migrant laborers' language in Medina Province, Saudi Arabia, are described, based on fieldwork in urban and rural areas. First, three aspects of grammar are compared in the language of urban and rural laborers; then, general and dialectal Arabic characteristics among rural speakers are examined. The language of the urban population conforms broadly to Arabian peninsular pidgins, while that of rural migrant speakers approximate to normative Hijazi Bedouin Arabic. This study is among the first to document the Arabic of two distinctive populations of migrant workers in the Arabian Peninsula.

Abstract:Algonquian *šôriyâwa 'silver' (later 'coin, money'), rather than being derived from French or Spanish or inherited from Proto-Algonquian, is a Northern Iroquoian loanword (possibly Proto-Huronian) borrowed into Proto–Core Central Algonquian ca. ad 600–1200. It was later borrowed from Proto-Ojibwean into Pre-CINA, the common ancestor of Cree-Innu-Naskapi-Atikamekw, by ad 1200. Later, expected reflexes in some CINA dialects were ousted by imitation of an Ojibwean cognate, which went on to be adopted in various non-Algonquian languages.
摘要：Algonquian*šôriyâwa“silver”（后来的“coin，money”），不是源自法语或西班牙语，也不是从Proto Algonquian继承而来，而是北易洛魁人的借词（可能是Proto Huronian），约公元600–1200年借用到Proto–Core Central Algonquia。它后来被从奥吉布韦原始人那里借用到公元1200年克里·因努·纳斯卡皮·阿蒂卡梅克的共同祖先Pre-CINA。后来，一些CINA方言中预期的反应被Ojibwean同源词的模仿所取代，这种同源词后来被各种非阿尔冈基语所采用。

Abstract:While Baka and Yaka, two large, neighboring forager groups in the Central African Rainforest, underwent language shift involving distinct farming populations of the Mundu-Baka and Bantu family, respectively, they share many other traits and are assumed to descend from a common *Baakaa ancestor. We argue against the hypothesis that this group migrated to its wider Inter-Ubangi-Sangha location alongside food-producers. More plausibly, it had already settled there and adopted different languages of newly incoming groups. Certain similarities also reflect inter-forager contact without any food-producer involvement. Our historical reassessment has important repercussions for both rainforest prehistory and the Bantu expansion at large.

Abstract:This article explores and compares multilingualism in small-scale societies of Western Africa and Lowland South America. All are characterized by complex and extensive multilingual practices and regional exchange systems established before the onset of globalization and its varying impacts. Through overviews of the general historical and organizational features of regions, vignette case studies, and a discussion of transformative processes affecting them, we show that small-scale multilingual societies present challenges to existing theorization of language as well as approaches to language description and documentation. We aim to bring these societies and issues to the fore, promoting discussion among a broader audience.

Abstract:Elhomwe, a Bantu language, has been endangered in Malawi since the nineteenth century. Its status and the success of revitalization efforts fostered by an elite-backed cultural organization are assessed using both qualitative and quantitative data. Although the Lomwe express enthusiasm over Lomwe political and ethnic resurgence and positive attitudes towards the language, revitalization has been minimally successful and the language remains fragile; improved socioeconomic, historical, and political status has not translated into resurgence and associated prestige of the language. The reasons for this lack of success despite elite and political brokerage are explored.
