Reviews

A Grammar of Upper Tanana, Volume 1 moves an already high bar for work on Dene languages even higher with its in-depth coverage of the standard topics enhanced by sections on the semantics of various morphemes, interjections, and nonverbal predicates. It is an outstanding contribution to the understanding of this language. -Keren Rice, former president of both the Canadian Linguistic Association and the Linguistic Society of America -- Keren Rice
