COMPUTERIZED DICTIONARIES OF HALKOMELEM AND NOOKSACK: SOME DISCOVERIES SO FAR
Brent Gallowav
A research project. sponsored bv NEH. to comoile comouterized dictionaries of two Salishan Ianouaqes of B.C. and Washinqton has led to some interesting discoveries so far about Halkomelem (on phonological. morphological. syntactic. and semantic levels) and about semantics in general. First the project and its use of computers will be described, along with some samples showing the possibilities of completeness of indexing on all levels by the BANDSORT program within LEXWARE. Then some of the things discovered will be outlined. with examples.
Some discoveries so far include a more wide-spread presence of ablaut. metathesis. and infixing as both inflectional and derivational processes in Upriver Halkomelem. covert systems of aspect inflection. a new principle which may help in understanding the use of ablaut and metathesis in
~derivation. and a better idea of the membership of verbs. numerals, adverbs. ·~adjectives. demonstratives. and pronouns in semantic domains, beside nom
inals and nouns. Some examples will be shown. followed by some examples of systematic semantic processes at work.
Interestinq discoveries" about semantics in qeneral include the fact that allosemes of a qiven word can be members of different semantic domains. and can also be members simultaneously of several semantic domains. Such interconnections probably facilitate the processes of thought. Semantic domains also appear to contribute at least one semantic component to each member (with the important logical consequences that entails). This all appears to be part of the brain"s information-filing system, directory paths, and information search and retrieval and processing systems. These networks of domains. subdomains, and linked components can be viewed more profitably as three-dimensional mobiles than two-dimensional diagrams.

SEMANTICS: systematic semantic shifts (with pattern congruity) applying to body parts, place names, kinterms and words for people, etc.;
9. The set of 32 body part suffixes have allosemes which all shift in parallel fashion in certain semantic (semetic) environments; there are at least four allosemes for each suffix: [' (body part) (usually subject of the verb root they are attached to) 'J in the environment (subdomains) of body function/dysfunction wards and many place names--with place names the suffixes have allosemes [' (feature in shape of body part) 'J (neck of land, throat of cliff, head of river, nose/point of land, etc .• ~
['of the (body part) (partitive) 'J in independent words for body parts,
icgb
and ['on or in the (body part)'] elsewhere (lit. thousands of examples). 10. -(.)1 /'past tense'/ has alloseme ['deceased, late'] within the semetic environments of ['kinterms, personal names, demonstrative pronouns, people, fauna']
11. All te~ms for flora which can appear with or without the suffix -.lp /'tree, plant'/ have allosemes ['fruit of the plant'] when the suffix is absent
different allosemes of a morpheme or word being members of different semantic domains;
12. Ikw.l.t'xv.LI ['shoot s-o/s-th with arrow'] in domains of -HUNT, SOC, in free variation with ['shoot s-o/s-th with gun'] in semantic (semetic) environment of TIME circa 1850-1900, replaced by the latter alloseme in environment of TIME circa after 190P, ['sting s-o/s-th'] in domain of ABFC (animal body function) for ex. with ['bee, snake']
13. III 'q •• ml ['whisper'] in domains of CONV, SOC with ['human'], ['hiss'] in domain of ABFC for ex. with ['snake, feline']
14. Iskwi'xvi ['personal name'] in domain of N, ['place name'] in domain of PLN, ['wofd for s-th'] in domains of CONV, SCH (conversa-tion and speech, schooling) for ex. with ['inanimate'] .
15. Ikwi'xv •• LI ['name s-o in ceremony'] in domains of SOC, REL, MED, ['call s-o's name'] in domain of CON V , ['read s-th'] in domain of SCH
individual allosemes with simultaneous membership in more than one semantic domain;
16. Is.kw.'ll ['water-fall'] in domains LAND-·, WATF: 17. Is=?i'·~wl ['lost and presumed dead'] in DIR, SOC, ABDF (direction, social relations, animal body dysfunctions).
18. l?i'4 w •• LI ['rub s-th off, wipe s-th off'] in domains Me, C~O, REL, GAM, MED, TCH, ABFC (material culture, clothing, religion, games, medicine, touch, animal body functions)
semantic environments conditioning many allosemes being statable, those conditioning many others being deducible by inform~l logic from domain membership and/or knowledge of the language and culture and/or pragmatics during use
19. see examples above
"3D Semantics": A suggestion for notation for three levels of semantics: Semetic: ['alloseme, componential analysis, semetic information'] Sememic: /'sememe, range of meaning of a word or morpheme'/ Morphosememic: //'morphosememe, new meaning resulting from shifts of
sememes in combination within a word or phrase'//
