Historical information:Crow is a language in the Siouan language family that is spoken on the Crow Reservation in southern Montana. These materials were collected by Edwin Ko on the Crow Reservation in Montana beginning in July 2018 during his graduate studies at University of California, Berkeley. One of the goals of this project was to collect spoken texts, oral narratives, and conversations from a number of different genres. Funding for this research came from an Oswalt Endangered Language Grant administered by the Survey of California and Other Indian Languages in the Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley.
Scope and content:Recordings of elicitation sessions, texts (including personal reminiscences and commentary about language, culture, and identity), and photographic documentation related to places on the Crow Reservation. Each file bundle contains recordings from a single speaker involving a single data type (recordings of elicitation sessions, primary texts based on interviews). Most of the texts, spoken in Crow with a translation in English, fall into one of two domains: (a) discussions about the past, present, and future of life on the Crow Reservation, and (b) personal reminiscences and stories about specific places on the Crow Reservation. All audio was recorded on an Zoom H4N Pro digital recorder and all photos were taken using the camera on an iPhone 8.

Description:Questions and answer pairs with existentials to see if the presence of a classifier forces either an existential or locative interpretation. Possession was also tested to see if whether the subject possesses the object or someone else does affects the use of a classifier.

Description:Noun 'dog' with and without the animal classifier 'xal' to see what the presence or absence of the classifier does to the meaning of a DP. Also includes running a "meat grinder" test on 'dog' to see how the 'mass of dog' interpretation works with the classifier. No recording due to issues with the recorder during the session.

Description:Grammatical elicitation to see if there is something like a universal quantifier, and, if so, whether it shows the same behavior with regards to bound and unbound possessors and classifiers (no classifier for a bound possessor, classifier for an unbound possessor). A short narrative was also elicited to see where classifiers are first used.
