| Abstract | "Cheyenne provides a detailed description of Cheyenne syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, notably on its nominal and verbal system and in both simple and complex sentences. Based on fieldwork conducted on the Northern Cheyenne reservation, this book, which seeks to address descriptive and theoretical issues involving complex sentences, has three major aims: (i) to present a morpho-syntactic, semantic, and discourse-pragmatic description of complex sentences in Cheyenne; (ii) to investigate the relationship between the semantic and syntactic dimensions of complex sentences; and (iii) to contribute to the research, preservation, and revitalization of this ancestral language spoken in the United States of America. This book will be informative for scholars interested in language typology, comparative linguistics, theoretical linguistics, and language documentation, as well as those interested in Cheyenne learning and teaching"-- Provided by publisher. |
