摘要

在这篇综述的开头提到,库克的工作之前是Brittain(199719992001)关于西纳斯卡皮语的独立连词对比的工作,西纳斯卡皮语是克里-因努-纳斯卡皮语言连续体的另一个成员。令人惊讶的是,库克的书中没有提到布里坦的作品。尽管平原克里语和西部纳斯卡皮语无疑是不同的,但它们在独立屈折和连词屈折的形式和分布上都表现出许多共性。此外,尽管关注点不同——布里坦的主要贡献涉及形态语法,而库克的主要贡献则涉及语义——但两位作者的建议似乎从根本上是一致的,因为他们都将独立的连词对比归因于从句CP层面的差异。因此,我认为两位作者的工作是相辅相成的;布里坦和库克研究了同一问题的不同方面,他们的作品可以一起阅读。然而,这一遗漏并没有减损库克作品的整体价值。这本书对阿尔冈基语言学中一个臭名昭著的难题做出了实质性的、高度原创的贡献,在这个过程中,它还对克里语语法和语义的各个方面进行了广泛而深刻的描述,这些方面很少被观察到,更不用说以如此连贯的方式解释了。因此,对于那些从事克里语文本翻译或分析的人来说,这本书是一个宝贵的资源。除了对数据的熟练掌握外,这本书还是一个清晰的展示模式,这使得它对非专业人士来说就像对专家来说一样具有刺激性和指导性。除了与熟悉克里语和阿尔冈基语的观众相关外,这本书还对那些研究从句类型的类型学、证据性的编码、主要从句现象的性质以及从句和主格之间的句法和语义相似性的人感兴趣。

Haitian Creole: Structure, Variation, Status, Origin by Albert Valdman (review)
It was mentioned at the beginning of this review that Cook’s work is preceded by that of Brittain (1997, 1999, 2001) on the independent-conjunct contrast in Western Naskapi, another member of the Cree-Innu-Naskapi language continuum. It is surprising, then, that Cook’s book makes no mention of Brittain’s work. Although Plains Cree and Western Naskapi are undoubtedly different, they display many commonalities in both the form and distribution of the independent and conjunct inflections. Furthermore, despite the difference in focus–the main contributions of Brittain’s work involve morphosyntax, while the main contributions of Cook’s work involve semantics–the proposals of the two authors seem fundamentally compatible, as they both attribute the independent-conjunct contrast to a difference at the CP level of the clause. I suggest, then, that the work of the two authors is complementary; Brittain and Cook examine different facets of the same issue and their work could well be read together. This omission does not, however, detract from the overall value of Cook’s work. The book makes a substantial and highly original contribution to a notoriously difficult problem in Algonquian linguistics, and in the process of doing so, it also provides an extensive and insightful description of various aspects of Cree syntax and semantics that have rarely been observed, let alone explained in such a coherent way. The book is thus a valuable resource for those engaged in the translation or analysis of Cree texts. In addition to its masterful command of the data, the book is also a model of clarity in presentation, which makes it just as accessible to nonspecialists as it is stimulating and instructive to specialists. Beyond its relevance to audiences familiar with Cree and Algonquian languages, the book is also of interest to those who study the typology of clause types, the encoding of evidentiality, the nature of main-clause phenomena, and the syntactic and semantic parallels between clauses and nominals.

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.
