Viac o knihe

Focusing on the complex morphology of Athapaskan languages, Keren Rice presents a comprehensive analysis of morpheme ordering in Athapaskan verbs, exploring its implications for both current grammar and historical language evolution. She posits that verb structure is consistent across these languages when specific abstract meanings are taken into account. This work stands out as the first significant comparative study of its kind, merging detailed description with modern theoretical insights.
