Abstract

Almost all Algonquian languages use diminutive suffixes on nouns and, in some languages, on verbs as well. The formation of diminutive nouns in Miami-Illinois is very complex, and much more irregular than that seen in the most closely related Algonquian languages. I discuss here patterns of diminutive noun formation in Miami-Illinois; besides comparing them to those found in its sister languages when relevant, I demonstrate which forms are unpredictable, and discuss philological problems of phonemic interpretation posed by the original records.

伊利诺伊州迈阿密的名词逐渐减少

几乎所有的阿尔冈昆语都在名词上使用小后缀，在某些语言中，在动词上也使用小后缀。在迈阿密-伊利诺伊州，小名词的形成非常复杂，而且比最密切相关的阿尔冈基语中的小名词更不规则。我在这里讨论迈阿密-伊利诺伊州的小名词形成模式；除了在相关情况下将其与姊妹语言中发现的形式进行比较外，我还证明了哪些形式是不可预测的，并讨论了原始记录所带来的音位解释的语言学问题。

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.
