We investigate the prosodic realization of discourse structure in Dena’ina based on two narratives. We assume that a Dena’ina text consists of informational and prosodic “building blocks” of different sizes that we call paragraphs, story units, intonation units, and prosodic words. After outlining semantic and syntactic criteria for each of these, we demonstrate that story units and intonation unit boundaries are cued by prosodic markers including pitch, rhyme length, and following pause. This enables us to formulate a model of Dena’ina narrative discourse
