Oneida Person Indefiniteness: Usage and Florescence
Abstract:Oneida (Northern Iroquoian) “feminine/indefinite” (F/I) pro-nominal prefixes are polysemous between an indefinite and a feminine reading. Feminine meaning is more common in texts, explaining speakers’ intuition that this meaning is more basic. Moreover, F/I prefixes are more common in “irrealis” narratives—narratives about ghosts, customs, and memories. Indefinite F/I prefixes may cooccur with indefinite words, e.g., uhkaʔ ok ‘someone’; about half the occurrences of F/I prefixes do so. Conflation of the two meanings is culturally based—positively, in the relation between womanhood and mankind and negatively, in the relation between womanhood and the unimportant.
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.
