	125th Commemoration: Nez Perce National Historic Trail

		In 1877 five bands of Nez Perce were fleeing the U.S. Government's attempt to confine them to a small reservation in Idaho; the battle began in the pre-dawn hours of August 9 when cavalry troops attacked a sleeping village of Nez Perce.
		The recipients all were awarded certificates of appreciation and engraved desk clocks with the Nez Perce National Historic Trail logo for their contributions to the 125th Commemoration of the Nez Perce War.

	The Word in Tiberian Hebrew: Abstract
		This is demonstrated most clearly by languages in which a phonological contrast is neutralized in all or most contexts: /u/ ~ /U/ in Classical Manchu (Zhang 1996), /i/ ~ /E/ in Nez Perce (Hall & Hall 1980), and /i: u:/ in Yowlumne (Kuroda 1967, Archangeli 1984) are three of many examples in this class.
		Across languages, differences in the contrastive hierarchy itself are reflected in different paths of segmental elaboration (Dresher 1998).
		Within a language, the relatively underspecified nature of the developing system predicts greater variability in child language, as shown by Rice & Avery (1995) and Rice (1996a, b).

		Comrie, Bernard (1978) “Ergativity.” in Winfred P. Lehmann, ed., Syntactic Typology: Studies in the Phenomenology of Language.
		Assuming that nominative and absolutive nominals are outside VP, she argues that since first and second persons are always definite, they must be raised out of the VP by LF.
