Abstract:

This collection of articles on stress and tone in various Athabaskan
languages will interest theoretical linguists and historically oriented
linguists alike. The volume brings to light new data on the phonetics
and/or phonology of prosody (stress, tone, intonation) in various
Athabaskan languages, Chiricahua Apache, Dene Soun'liné, Jicarilla Apache,
Sekani, Slave, Tahltan, Tanacross, Western Apache, and Witsuwit'en. As
well, some contributions describe how prosody is to be reconstructed for
Proto-Athabaskan, and how it evolved in some of the daughter languages.
