Abstract
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.
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.
