Abstract

Over the 100 years since IJAL’s inaugural issue, research on semantics in indigenous languages of the Americas has advanced the field in at least three major ways. It has greatly expanded our empirical knowledge of semantics in non-European languages, it has provided methodological breakthroughs, and it has had significant impact on linguistic theory. This paper provides an overview of contributions and progress in these three areas over the past century, focusing in particular on languages of the Pacific Northwest. It concludes with thoughts about what needs to be done in the next century.
