Abstract
Abstract:This article describes the personal names and naming practices of the Pawnee and Arikara, Northern Caddoan tribes formerly in east-central Nebraska through eastern South Dakota. Personal names among Native American groups have received only passing attention from anthropologists and linguists. However, Caddoan names constitute an intriguing class in both their morphological composition and in the association of particular grammatical structures with age, status, and gender. The study draws on censuses, historical documents, and fifty years of linguistic documentation among the two tribes, which together provide a database of over seven hundred names for each the Pawnee and the Arikara.
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.
