  1. This paper investigates the eight demonstratives found in Cheyenne, an Algonquian language spoken in Montana and Oklahoma. Demonstratives, such as 'this' and 'that' in English, are used to indicate an individual or object being referred to, either something in the speech context (deictic use) or something that was previously mentioned (anaphoric use). In this paper, we discuss ±proximal and ±animate distinctions made amongst the Cheyenne demonstratives, their frequency of use, and the ways they are used, based on a corpus study of 62 texts (Leman 1980b) and the dictionary (Fisher et al. 2006).
