Abstract:
|
|
|
This study is primarily an attempt to reconstruct the phonological history of Arapaho, a Western Algonkian language which has undergone a rather startling number of sound changes. The claim is made that this can be achieved in a systematic way by developing a methodology which will produce consistent predictions on the chronological order of phonological developments in any language for which, like Arapaho, no historical records are available.
