The goal of this thesis is to apply the Licensing by Cue hypothesis to the...

Canada: Simon Fraser University, 2006. – 374 p.
This thesis is a study of applicative constructions in Salish, a family of twenty-three languages spoken in British Columbia and the northwestern United States. In an applicative construction, an applicative morpheme is suffixed to the verb and the object bears a semantic role other than theme, such as dative, benefactive,...

University of British Columbia, 2008. — 382 p. In this dissertation, I examine the marking of focus and givenness in Nte?kepmxcin (Thompson River Salish). The focus is, roughly, the answer to a wh-question, and is highlighted by the primary sentential accent in stress languages like English. This has been formalized as the Stress-Focus Correspondence Principle. Given material...

University of British Columbia, 1996. — 396 p. This dissertation has three main goals: 1. To provide an analysis of the syntax and semantics of Salish determiners and quantifiers. 2. To provide an account of differences in the determiner and quantification systems of Salish and English which reduces cross-linguistic variation to a minimum, in line with a restrictive theory of...

University of British Columbia, 1971. — 292 p. The reasons for writing North American Indian stories and legends are both numerous and obvious, especially in light of the fact that many Indian languages, which hitherto have orally preserved such material, are dying due to many complex, socioeconomic factors. Less obvious is the manner in which such material should be preserved;...
University of Surrey, 2011. — 328 p.
