dc.description.abstract
The Siouan family comprises some twenty languages, historically spoken across
a broad swath of the central North American plains and woodlands, as well as
in parts of the southeastern United States. In spite of its geographical
extent and diversity, and the size and importance of several Siouan-speaking
tribes, this family has received relatively little attention in the linguistic
literature and many of the individual Siouan languages are severely
understudied. This volume aims to make work on Siouan languages more broadly
available and to encourage deeper investigation of the myriad typological,
theoretical, descriptive, and pedagogical issues they raise. The 17 chapters
in this volume present a broad range of current Siouan research, focusing on
various Siouan languages, from a variety of linguistic perspectives:
historical-genetic, philological, applied, descriptive, formal/generative, and
comparative/typological. The editors' preface summarizes characteristic
features of the Siouan family, including head-final and "verb-centered"
syntax, a complex system of verbal affixes including applicatives and subject-
possessives, head-internal relative clauses, gendered speech markers, stop-
systems including ejectives, and a preference for certain prosodic and
phonotactic patterns. The volume is dedicated to the memory of Professor
Robert L. Rankin, a towering figure in Siouan linguistics throughout his long
career, who passed away in February of 2014.
