A grammar of Assiniboine: A Siouan language of the Northern Plains by Call Number: Dissertation : Full Text OnlinePublication Date: 01/2005There is a complex system of motion verbs, analyzed here as consisting of four triadic modules that encode notions of deictic center, base, direction, and belonging. A chapter on kinship includes a description of respect speech and a comprehensive list of kin terms.- Sioux, Assiniboine, and Stoney Dialects: A Classification by Call Number: Journal Article: Full Text OnlinePublication Date: 07/1992The Sioux, Assiniboine, and Stoney peoples-members of the Siouan language family-form a dialect continuum extending over a vast area of the northern Great Plains in the United States and Canada. Since the exact number of and interrelationships among the dialects and subdialects comprising this continuum have been indeterminate, a dialect survey of all the Sioux, Assiniboine, and Stoney communities was undertaken. Summarized here are the major findings of that survey, organized around five of the most common misunderstandings persistent in the historical and contemporary literature: the inadequacy of the d-n-l classification; the fallacy of the 'Nakota Sioux'; and the relationships of Yankton to Yanktonai, Yanktonai to Assiniboine, and Assiniboine to Stoney.
