Recensione

'This book treats virtually all of the important matters pertaining to the grammatical features of the Athapaskan verb word, in depth for an impressive number of individual languages and in sumptuous comparative detail for languages representative of the family as a whole ...The book contains at least a dozen detailed and interesting discussions of the ordering of elements in the Athapaskan verb word. It contains much more than this, however. New analyses of many aspects of the Athapaskan verb are developed. These are consistently of great value and full of the insight and scholarship we have come to expect from this fine linguist and Athapaskanist ... Rice's book is a treasure. Though it is organized around the theme of morpheme order, it is a rich source of both problems and solutions in Athapaskan linguistics generally and deserves to be considered a classic in the field.' Ken Hale, Diachronica

Descrizione del libro

The complex morphology of Athapaskan languages is of great linguistic interest but still sparsely documented. This insightful book offers a rich typological survey of morpheme ordering in Athapaskan verbs and demonstrates the relevance of semantics for verb structure. It will interest Athapaskanists, typologists, historical and theoretical linguists alike.
