Society for promoting christian knowledge, 1911. — 212 p.
The Tukudh Grammar here presented is little more than an outline of what it represents. It is, however, hoped that it will be considered sufficient to be of real service. With the help of the syllabary prefixed to it the pronunciation of even the longest words, after a few lessons, is rendered comparatively easy. Without...
University of Massachusetts Amherst, 1991. – 16 p.
This paper explores the distribution and contribution of morphemes referred to as‘comparative aspect’ in Athabaskan and Na-Dene languages, considering data from Slave,Witsuwit’en, Navajo, and Tlingit. Comparative aspect morphology marks verb stems denoting gradable adjectival properties (e.g., tall, fast, small, strong).In (1),...

Mouton, 1989. — 658 p. — (Trends in Linguistics: State-of-the-Art reports 15). The last collection of papers on Athapaskan linguistics was published in 1963 (Hoijer, et. al.). Since that time, there has been considerable research on Athapaskan languages, and, one hopes, much progress made in understanding the structure of the Athapaskan languages. This volume represents an...
Vancouver: University of British Columbia Press, 1984. — VII, 304 p. Likely to become one of the classic works in Amerindian linguistics, this book presents a comprehensive grammar of Sarcee, an Athapaskan language spoken in southern Alberta.

Tsilhqút’ín, also known as Chilcotin, is a northern Athabaskan language spoken by the people of the Chilco River (Tsilhqóx) in Interior British Columbia. Until now, the literature on Tsilhqút’ín contained very little description of the language....
Ottawa: National Museums of Canada, 1972. — 51 p. — (Ethnology Division 2). The purpose of this paper is to outline the ways in which Sarcee verb stems can be classified into paradigmatic subclasses whose inflectional behaviours are describable as regular processes. It is concluded that (1) verb stems belong either to the"major paradigm” which inflects for three or four aspect...

University of British Columbia, 1999. — 122 p. This thesis investigates laryngeal processes in Chipewyan and other Athapaskan languages. Athapaskan languages provide an interesting testing ground since they exhibit a three-way laryngeal distinction in stops (voiceless unaspirated, voiceless aspirated and glottalised), as well as a two-way distinction (voiced vs. voiceless) in...

Berkeley: The University Press, 1909. — 180 p. The dialect of the Kato, while distinctly Athapascan, is decidedly different from Hupa. A Hupa man listened to the storytelling and general conversation for several days without being able to recognize more than a few words. It differs less markedly from the Wailaki, although the general pronunciation is strange enough to occasion...
University of Oregon, 2021. — 631 p. Doing linguistic research for the purpose of language revitalization, academic inclusion, and social justice fundamentally changes the perspective, questions, and goals of the work. Framing this research in a traditional linguistic model does not best convey the point and the beauty of findings for community members. This is partly due to...

This dissertation is concerned with strategies of participant marking in narrative texts in Dena’ina Athabascan, a language spoken in south-central Alaska.

University of Arizona Press, 2011. — 232 p. For many communities around the world, the revitalization or at least the preservation of an indigenous language is a pressing concern. Understanding the issue involves far more than compiling simple usage statistics or documenting the grammar of a tongue - it requires examining the social practices and philosophies that affect...
University of Texas – Austin, 2024. — 72 p. The possessive construction in Dena’ina, a Northern Dene (Athabaskan) language of Southcentral Alaska, is complex and under-researched. Historically, it has been divided into two types, alienable and inalienable possession. I propose that these types should be divided into four, as part of a two-axis system where a distinction between...
Gwich'in Social & Cultural Institute of Alaska, 2024. — 48 p. The verb paradigms in this booklet are by no means an exhaustive list of verbs of the Gwich’in language, which is an Alaskan Dene language.

In the Northern Athabaskan languages Tlicho Yatiì, Dene and Dene Dzage, copulas and auxiliary verbs are based on reflexes of two Proto-Athabaskan roots, *-LII and *-T’E’.
