- ItemOpen AccessCalgary Working Papers in Linguistics, Volume 11, Summer 1985(University of Calgary, 1985-06) Hildebrand, Joyce LThis is the eleventh in the series of working papers published by LOGOS, the Student Linguistics Society at the University of Calgary. These papers represent the current research in proqress of students and faculty members and as such should not be considered in any way final or definitive. Appearance of papers in this volume does not preclude their publication in another form elsewhere.

- ItemOpen AccessCalgary Working Papers in Linguistics, Volume 5, Spring 1979(University of Calgary, 1979-05) O'Grady, William D.This issue is the fifth in the series of working papers published by LOGOS, the Student Linguistics Society at the University of Calgary. The series provides a vehicle for faculty members and students to publish current research. These papers represent research in progress and are not to be considered final statements by the authors.

- ItemOpen AccessChilcotin tone: an autosegmental analysis*(University of Calgary, 1995-01) Rhyasen, CorrieChilcotin is an Amerindian language belonging to the Athabaskan family. Athabaskan languages are characterized as prefixing languages with rich morphological agreement. They are also categorized as tone languages, although historically they were not. I propose that by using an autosegmental framework to analyze tone in Chilcotin the stem tone alternations will become predictable. Two basic autosegmental rules: spreading and tone deletion, can account for the stem tone alternations.
- ItemOpen AccessClassifiers and subject prefix alternation in Athapaskan(University of Calgary, 1979-05) Henry, DaveThe basic sentence structure in Athapaskan is subject-object-verb, as illustrated in Hare. The verb is inflected for aspect and subject agreement. If the object of a transitive verb is not stated as an independent NP and the subject is third person, the verb is also inflected for object agreement. Because the subject is third person the object is expressed by the 'obviative' or 'fourth person.
- ItemOpen AccessA closer look at coalescence: the Slave D-effect*(University of Calgary, 2000-01) Wilhelm, AndreaI will analyze the Slave D-effect in the framework of Optimality Theory (Prince & Smolensky 1993). My analysis will cover the full range of phenomena and will not refer to morphological information. This makes it superior to previous analyses of the D-effect, e.g., Lamontagne & Rice 1994, 1995, which have to refer to morphological information, and which do not account for all D-effect alternations. I will propose constraints guiding the inner workings of coalescence (which features of which input segment are maintained), thus shedding light on the nature of coalescence in general. Finally, I will show that my analysis is more valid universally, as it is compatible with accounts of coalescence in child language (Ganandesikan 1995).
- ItemOpen AccessOn determining grammatical relations in Slave*(University of Calgary, 1985-06) Hildebrand, Joyce LAlthough there is an extensive literature on the analysis of Athapaskan languages, the emphasis has been on the verbal morphology and the phonological systems of these languages. This focus is understandable, given the complexity of the verbal morphology of Athapaskan languages and the difficulty encountered in attempts to describe their syntax within any current theoretical framework. In this paper, however, I will concentrate on a syntactic phenomenon in Slave, a northern Athapaskan language, referring to the verbal morphology only as it relates to the phenomenon under discussion.
