Any topic dealing with American Indian languages and linguistics is acceptable.
Lest it be thought that I am just an outmoded dataphile, I should add that I am reasonably au courant with post-GB Minimalist theory and associated issues, and indeed relish interesting theoretical insights. As you can imagine, the name causes some enquiry, and I am frustrated that I have no definite answer to give, apart from which I should be most intererested to verify the information I have been given. Native American language and would like some input on what others are paying native language consultants. I have presented some slides and talked about the whole process of contacting these Indians, as well as the identification of their language, in a recent meeting here in Santa Barbara. I would like to know if there are other linguists who have worked in similar situations who might want to talk about their experiences and might wantto join me in a roundtable discussion.
