"This is a dictionary of the Dena'ina Athabascan language of Cook Inlet Basin and the Southern Alaska Range. Vocabulary lists arranged by topic provide a panoramic view of the central cultural and ecological concepts of the Dena'ina. In terms of breadth of subjects, technical specificity, dialect coverage, and illustrations, this is the most refined topical lexicon in existence for an Alaska Native language and for any language in the Athabascan family. More than one hundred Dena'ina speakers contributed words, and many chapters were reviewed by experts in natural history and ethnology. This work positions Dena'ina topical materials at the intersection of ethnology and linguistics."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)
