Abstract
Abstract:As is typical for the Iroquoian family, Oneida names are either analyzable as generated from the templates of the (mostly verb and sometimes noun) morphology or unanalyzable. With one type of exception, analyzable names are not distinguished in form from common nouns and verbs. The semantic range of names is broad and categories of names do not generally have social significance. Contemporary name-giving practices tend to use analyzable names with the expectation of some fit between the name and the individual. Nicknames and titles follow different practices.
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.
