AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This study examines 'two slightly different phonetic systems ... used by speakers of the Montana Gros Ventre (Atsina) language. One form is used largely by women, the other by men. The two systems were first reported by Flannery in 1946; the present paper, based on recent field work, looks at the phenomenon anew, and explores the question of why use of the two systems is not entirely predictable from the gender of the speaker' (p. 301).
