Natalie Weber and co-authors publish a paper on "Variation in Prosodic Structure across Algonquian"

“Variation in Prosodic Structure across Algonquian” (co-authored by Natalie Weber, Antti Arppe, Ksenia Bogomolets, Andrew Cowell, Rose-Marie Déchaine, Christopher Hammerly, Sarah E. Murray, Katherine Schmirler, and Rachel Vogel) has now been published in the 55th Papers of the Algonquian Conference. 

Abstract: We report on the motivation, methods, and preliminary findings of a new Algonquian Prosodic Structure Working group (established spring 2022). This group includes researchers of five Algonquian languages—Arapaho, Blackfoot, Cheyenne, Ojibwe, and Plains Cree—with plans to expand to other languages. Our current focus compares phonological generalizations at morpheme edges in order to determine the prosodic structure of each language. By considering related languages with similar morphosyntax, our eventual aim is to determine how the grammar of prosodic structure may vary and how it is constrained. Our preliminary results show that each of the five languages exhibits different phonological generalizations at the preverb-stem versus initial-final boundaries, even though the specific phonological processes vary across the languages. For languages where phonological descriptions exist, our findings often confirm those descriptions, but sometimes raise possible alternative morphophonological analyses. For other languages our findings are novel. We argue there are at least two possible prosodic structures within Algonquian: preverbs may be parsed as separate prosodic constituents or as prosodic adjuncts.
