Abstract:

Chipewyan, an Athapascan language in Canada, is found particularly
along the Athabaska River and Lake, and the lakes and the streams
draining into the Churchill River. The Athabaskan languages of the
North are commonly referred to as Déné, after the word that in many
dialects denotes a man who speaks that tongue.
It is the phonetic changes that makes the language almost
unintelligible to one knowing only southern dialects. The main
difference is in the presence of surd, sonant, and glottally affected
th whereas most Pacific and Southern dialects have surd, sonant, and
glottally affected tongue points consonants (adapted from the
preface).
The first part focuses on the description of the phonetics of the
language (tracings, vowels, semi-vowels, nasals, liquids, spirants,
stops, stress, pitch, assimilation, etc.) as well as some historical
illustrative tracings and comperative references to the other dialect
groups. The second part discusses the morphology of Chipewyan (nouns,
pronous, numerals, verbs, etc.). Aditionally the study contains ca.
200 images produced by a kymograph. (Re-edition. Originally published
1912 in New York).
