 | | My research is on American Indian languages, especially the Algonquian languages Fox (Mesquakie) and Cree, examining issues of morphology, syntax, and discourse-pragmatic relations. |
 | | In my work, however, I develop several syntactic tests for grammatical relations in Cree and in Fox, which show that the inverse verbs (at least in these two Algonquian languages) are active, not passive. |
 | | For Fox, my research on obviation, narrative structure, and the analysis of syntactic constructions in a discourse context has been greatly aided by a remarkable corpus of texts collected in the early part of this century by the ethnologist Truman Michelson and now stored at the National Anthropological Archives, Smithsonian Institution. |
