My name is Laura Roller. I am a graduate student under the direction of
Dr. Elizabeth Brandt in the Department of Anthropology at Arizona State
University. I am researching new words coined in Native American
languages (including Native Hawaiian) for their semantic content. This
research is part of a larger project investigating Native American
language renewal. I am seeking examples of coined words, along with
morphological and semantic analysis to assist me as a non-speaker.
If you have this kind of information, I would like to hear from
you! Of course participation is voluntary, and return of information
will be considered your consent to participate in the research. You can
contact me at laura.roller@asu.edu. Besides the initial contact, some
follow-up questioning via e-mail or by telephone may be necessary.
Questions about the research design may be directed to Dr. Elizabeth
Brandt at brandt@anthro.la.asu.edu.
I am not a subscriber to these lists, so responses should be sent
directly to me at laura.roller@asu.edu.
