"Discourse functions and point of view in Meskwaki (Algonquian)"
Professor Dahlstrom received her Ph.D in Linguistics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1986 and has taught since 1989 in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Chicago. She has worked and published extensively on Cree and Meskwaki, indigenous North American languages of the Algonquian family. She is the author of the books Plains Cree morphosyntax (2014) and Meskwaki (Fox) Syntax.
Professor Dahlstrom's talk will examine discourse functions of the grammatical distinction between more focalized "proximate" and less focalized "obviative" third persons in Meskwaki, a Native American language spoken in Iowa.
Open to the Reed community only.
