Siouan (Native American) language scholars have debated for decades the question of whether these languages are configurational or nonconfigurational, owing to the head-marking polysynthetic characteristics of these languages. This dissertation seeks to provide an analysis of the configurationality in Siouan, focusing on data from Hoca¸k. I show that in Siouan, the configurationality split is manifested in Siouan by a split in morphological behavior between first and second person, or Speech Act Participant (SAP) arguments and third person arguments. I claim that the SAP system is nonconfigurational and the third person system is configurational. This dissertation consists of an overview of Siouan languages (chapter 2), a review of a selection of literature on the topic of configurationality (chapters 3-4) and characteristics of the morphological split between SAP and third person (chapter 5), and my analysis of split configurationality in Hoca¸k (chapter 6) and a selection of other Siouan languages (chapter 7).

520 $a Siouan (Native American) language scholars have debated for decades the question of whether these languages are configurational or nonconfigurational, owing to the head-marking polysynthetic characteristics of these languages. This dissertation seeks to provide an analysis of the configurationality in Siouan, focusing on data from Hoca¸k. I show that in Siouan, the configurationality split is manifested in Siouan by a split in morphological behavior between first and second person, or Speech Act Participant (SAP) arguments and third person arguments. I claim that the SAP system is nonconfigurational and the third person system is configurational. This dissertation consists of an overview of Siouan languages (chapter 2), a review of a selection of literature on the topic of configurationality (chapters 3-4) and characteristics of the morphological split between SAP and third person (chapter 5), and my analysis of split configurationality in Hoca¸k (chapter 6) and a selection of other Siouan languages (chapter 7).
520 $a In chapter 2, I present an overview of Siouan languages, focusing on aspects of Hoca¸k grammar and morphology. In the first few sections, I provide a brief general overview of Siouan languages, discussing their properties, including their such stative-active nature and their polysynthesis properties of Siouan. The following sections provide a background specifically on Hoca¸k, including its main morphological and syntactic characteristics.
520 $a Chapter 3 consists of review a selection of works from the vast body of literature that has explored the question of configurationality and polysynthesis in the world's languages. The works under discussion are Hale (1983) and the Configurationality Parameter, Jelinek (1984), who builds on the work of Hale to create the Pronominal Argument Hypothesis, Baker (1988, 1996), who formulates the Polysynthesis Parameter in an effort to explain the parametric distinction between language behavior cross-linguistically, Speas (1990) and her contention that configurational languages should not be possible, Nordlinger (1998), and the configurationality continuum, and, lastly, Li (2005), who proposes a morphology-syntax mapping hypothesis that explains the behavior of both non-polysynthetic and polysynthetic languages.
520 $a Chapter 4 provides a review of previous scholarship on configurationality in Siouan languages. The languages discussed are Lakhota, Crow, Assiniboine, and Hidatsa, reviewing the works of Williamson (1984), Van Valin (1977, 1985, 1987), Graczyk (1991), West (2003) and Boyle (2007). Many of the diagnostics these authors have used to determine the configurationality status of these languages are ones I adopt in analyzing Hoca¸k configurationality.
520 $a Chapter 5 reviews a selection of works that examine and analyze the SAP/third person split in morphological behavior in several of the world's languages. From the large body of literature and scholarship on this topic, I select for this dissertation those works which I have found to be most useful and informative when examining the SAP/third person split, in Siouan. The works I discuss are Benveniste (1971), Silverstein (1976), Noyer (1992), Rice and Saxon (1994), Ritter (1995, 1997), and Brittain (2001).
520 $a Chapter 6 consists of my analysis of my analysis of Hoca¸k configurationality. Drawing from the ideas of Nordlinger (1998) and Li (2005), I argue that Hoca¸k displays a combination of both configurational and nonconfigurational attributes, and that this configurationality split corresponds to the split in morphological behavior between SAP and third person pronominal affixes. I show that Li (2005)'s Parameter of the Lexicon, which explains the difference in morphology-syntax mapping between non-polysynthetic and polysynthetic languages, can also apply intra-language. I argue that in Hoca¸k, SAP arguments receive their theta roles in the morphology, without the use of syntactic structure, and third person arguments utilize hierarchical structure to receive their grammatical function information.
520 $a Chapter 7 applies my analysis to other Siouan languages, using Hidatsa, Assiniboine, Lakhota, and Crow as examples. I argue here that my analysis is advantageous in understanding the configurationality of these languages, as it addresses the SAP/third person characteristics that have caused scholars difficulty in proving whether the languages are configurational or pronominal argument languages.
520 $a Chapter 8 concludes the dissertation.
