Here, that rich morphology is illustrated via the Muskogean languages of the southeastern United States. Muskogean languages are agglutinative, but even more interesting and uncommon patterns emerge in an analysis of their morphology. These include subtractive morphology, suppletion, infixation, ablaut, and the use of suprasegmentals. These morphological patterns present considerable complexity. Inflected verbs in narratives and conversation often reflect more than one of the morphological processes. This morphological complexity also demonstrates characteristics of being nonlinear, of being prosodic yet not aligning with neat prosodic boundaries, of not having direct correspondence between grammatical categories and surface segments or suprasegmentals, or having more than one of those characteristics. Six of the seven Muskogean languages are still currently spoken by fluent first language speakers, and many of the tribal nations who represent these languages are involved in ongoing documentation and revitalization efforts, often in partnership with linguists. Thus, despite their highly endangered status, excellent existing documentation and new questions in research create an opportunity to collect even more intricate inflected forms that will enrich models of morphology and morphological theory while having broader impacts, like supporting tribal language revitalization.Item Motivating the Documentation of the Verbal Arts: Arguments from Theory and Practice(Language Documentation & Conservation, 2017-02-06) Fitzgerald, ColleenFor language documentation to be sufficiently extensive to cover a given community’s language practices (cf. Himmelmann 1998), then including verbal arts is essential to ensure the richness of that comprehensive record. The verbal arts span the creative and artistic uses of a given language by speakers, such as storytelling, songs, puns and poetry. In this paper, I demonstrate the significance of verbal arts documentation in three other ways. Drawing from Indigenous language community contexts in the United States, I describe how the verbal arts are relevant to linguistic theory, revitalization and training. First, the influence by verbal arts on phonological theory is attested, affirming that the collection and analysis of verbal arts data plays a significant role in the phonological analysis of a given language and in theories of phonology. Second, the verbal arts generate extremely useful examples in training models for language work, since such examples can be used to cultivate phonological awareness in learners and teachers. Third, the verbal arts provide culturally meaningful materials for language revitalization.Item Report and Path Forward Texas Water Technology Roadmap Forum(2015-03-24) The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment; STAR Park; AccelerateH2O; The Water Institute of Texas; RCN-CE3SAR; The Wells Fargo Foundation; The Meadows Foundation; The Texas Research and Technology Foundation; National Science Foundation-RCN CE3SARThe forum report focuses on a pathway to help solve Texas’ water problems and speed water technology from lab, to market, to application. Specific strategies suggested to address problems include: •Development of a cyberinfrastructure for information sharing •Creation of a water technology demonstration and pilot project test beds •An inventory of technology assets •Mapping of existing and promising water-related technologiesItem Synthesis Report for Understanding the Corpus Christi Educational Ecosystem: Promoting a Culture of STEM + A/D(RCN CE3SAR, 2013-12) Xu, HongThe synthesis report for the conference based on input sheets.
