Description

Niversity of British Columbia, 2000. - 18 p.In this paper, we consider a paradigm of quotatives in Plains Cree, arguing that they code a distinction in Presence. This distinction is shown to be coded through manipulation of two different grammatical bifurcations. We cast this discussion in light of the relation between discourse and grammar, concluding that the implication is bi-directional; form conditions discourse while discourse also conditions form.
