| Synopsis: |
Likely to become one of the classic works in Amerindian linguistics,this book presents a comprehensive grammar of Sarcee, an Athapaskanlanguage spoken in southern Alberta. Based on the voluminous notescollected by Edward Sapir in 1922 and supplemented by extensive datafrom Cook's own work with the few remaining speakers of Sarcee, thebook not only deals with all major areas of linguistic structure butalso offers insights into linguistic changes which have occurred duringthis century.Primarily descriptive, with numerous examples drawn from textmaterials to support claims about grammatical structure or rule, thebook also contains many accounts of Sarcee and Athapaskan data whichbear significantly on current theoretical issues. Although the over-allapproach is generative transformational, the material is presented incontemporary analytical and descriptive terminology.Preceded by an introduction defining the orthographic conventionsand abbreviations used throughout the book, the following chapters aredevoted to a thorough discussion of syntax, phonology, and morphology.The chapters on syntax constitute the only in-depth presentation ofsuch material for any northern Athapaskan language.A major documentation of the geographically and linguisticallyimportant Sarcee language, this book will be welcomed by scholars inAthapaskan studies as well as by linguists in general as a significantcontribution to the general knowledge of language and linguistictheory. |
