University of Colorado, 2014. — 99 p. The Arapaho language (one of the Plains Algonquian languages of the Algic family) is traditionally claimed to be a pitch-accent language, meaning that prominence is marked exclusively or mainly by modulation of fundamental frequency (Goddard 2001, Cowell 2008). The main goal of the current research was to experimentally establish the...
Center for the Study of Indigenous Languages of the West (CSILW), University of Colorado, 2009. — 84 p. In consultation with Alonzo Moss, Sr, Northern Arapaho Tribe. This is not a reference grammar of Arapaho. This means that the grammar does not present all the details of Arapaho grammar at one time. Rather, it is a progressive, pedagogical grammar, designed for teaching and...
University Press of Colorado, 2008. — 544 p. The Arapaho Language is the definitive reference grammar of an endangered Algonquian language. Arapaho differs strikingly from other Algonquian languages, making it particularly relevant to the study of historical linguistics and the evolution of grammar. Andrew Cowell and Alonzo Moss Sr. document Arapaho's interesting features,...
Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2014. — 560 p. This volume is intended as a resuscitation of those Arapaho-language manuscripts and, more generally, as a celebration of Arapaho oral narrative traditions in all the richness of the original language. Alonzo Moss, Sr., and William C’Hair (native speakers of Arapaho) and Andrew Cowell (a linguistic anthropologist) provide...
University of Colorado, 2019. — 49 p. This thesis analyzes the semantic properties of bimorphemic motion verbs in Arapaho. The bimorphemic verb consists of a verb root initial which indicates direction, manner, or location, then a verb root final which indicates manner of motion. This work first addresses the question of how to categorize bimorphemic stems and verb roots into...
Montreal & Kingston • London • Buffalo: McGill-Queen's University Press, 1994. — X, 193 p. In short, this study is an attempt to use the phonological history of Arapaho as a vehicle to explore various possibilities for making accurate inferences about the chronological order of sound changes. The ultimate hope is that this methodology will prove to be sufficiently sound,...
University of Colorado, 2015. — 67 p. This thesis explores the use of verbal classifiers in the Arapaho language, providing data and analyses for four specific classifiers: -oocei(hi)- for rope-like objects, -oowu- for water/liquid objects, -ox-/-ex- for wooden objects, and -ooti- for cloth objects. The four classifiers are analyzed in terms of their semantic extension and...
