<div>Kari uses them in his 1975 article "<font face="New York"
size="-2" color="#000000">The Disjunct Boundary in the Navajo and
Tanaina Verb Prefix Complexes." International Journal of American
Linguistics 41(4):330-345.</font> He cites Li's Chipewyan Consonants
paper where Li used the concept, but notes that the first use of it
was in "Navajo Notes" from a class by Sapir written by
Swadesh. The paper is in the American Philosophical Society Library in
Philadelphia.</div>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>Who coined the terms "disjunct"
and "conjunct"? And in what<br>
publication? I read through Kari 1989 where he reintroduces the
term<br>
"qualifier" from Jetté, as well as the phrase
"interrupted synthesis"<br>
from Sapir & Whorf, as but I didn't see where he might have
mentioned<br>
"disjunct" and "conjunct". Anyone have a
citation?<br>
<br>
BTW, I haven't forgotten about the terminology thing. This semester
is<br>
a bit busy for me (I have four classes and a teaching
assistantship)<br>
so I don't have as much time as I'd like to devote to my *real*
work.<br>
I have however started to sketch some stuff in a Google Docs
document<br>
and will post my results in the not too distant future.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
