A Methodology for the Investigation of Speaker’s Knowledge of Structure in Athabaskan
This paper reports on a developing methodology for the investigation of the structure of the lexicon in Athabaskan, a set of closely related, morphologically complex languages spoken in North America. One important question that arises in morphologically complex, polysynthetic languages concerns a native speaker’s working knowledge of word structure. In polysynthetic languages, how aware are speakers of theoretically driven units, such as domains…
Taking the Laboratory into the Field
We review the development of methodologies and technologies of empirical linguistic work done outside traditional academic laboratories. The integration of such results with contemporary language documentation and linguistic theory is an increasingly important component of language analysis. Taking linguistic inquiry out of the lab and away from well-described and familiar data brings challenges in logistics, ethics, and the definition of variabi…
Bardi
Bardi is the northernmost language of the Nyulnyulan family, a non-Pama-Nyungan family of the Western Kimberley region of northwestern Australia. Currently about five people speak the language fluently, but approximately 1,000 people identify as Bardi. The region was settled by Europeans in the 1880s and two missions were founded in Bardi country in the 1890s. Use of the language began declining in the 1930s. Many Bardi people were moved several …

Tamil liquids: An investigation into the basis of the contrast among five liquids in a dialect of Tamil
The Brahmin dialect of Tamil (Dravidian) has an unusual inventory of five distinctive liquid sounds: plain and retroflex rhotics, and plain and retroflex laterals, and a fifth liquid which has been variously described as a rhotic, a lateral, a glide and/or a fricative. This paper investigates the articulatory, acoustic, and perceptual properties of these liquids, and, in particular, the fifth liquid. Electropalatography (EPG) and static palatogra…
On A Bipartite Model of the Athabaskan Verb
A concise and motivated model of verbal morphoiogy is essential to any investigation of the Athabaskan sound and morphosyntactic systems because assumptions about the morphophonemic structure necessarily underlie these analyses.
