In Relativization in Ojibwe Michael D. Sullivan Sr. compares
varieties of the Ojibwe language and establishes subdialect
groupings for Southwestern Ojibwe, often referred to as Chippewa,
of the Algonquian family. Drawing from a vast corpus of both
primary and archived sources, he presents an overview of two
strategies of relative clause formation and shows that
relativization appears to be an exemplary parameter for grouping
Ojibwe dialect and subdialect relationships. Specifically, Sullivan
targets the morphological composition of participial verbs in
Algonquian parlance and categorizes the variation of their form
across a number of communities. In addition to the discussion of
participles and their role in relative clauses, he presents
original research linking geographical distribution of participles,
most likely a result of historical movements of the Ojibwe people
to their present location in the northern midwestern region of
North America. Following previous dialect studies concerned
primarily with varieties of Ojibwe spoken in Canada, Relativization
in Ojibwe presents the first study of dialect variation for
varieties spoken in the United States and along the border region
of Ontario and Minnesota. Starting with a classic Algonquian
linguistic tradition, Sullivan then recasts the data in a modern
theoretical framework, using previous theories for Algonquian
languages and familiar approaches such as feature checking and the
split-CP hypothesis.
